Abstract

This article analyzes the features of the socio-philosophical approach of consciousness. National consciousness is considered as a complex set of social, philosophical, religious and characterizing a certain level of spiritual development of the nation. The peculiarities of the formation of national identity and the basis of its harmonious development and contradictions are clarified. In addition, the concept of cultural heritage is actualized as forming the consciousness of the nation and preserving ontological, gnosiological, social, ethical, aesthetic values.

Comparison of the three concepts of the theory of consciousness has become a trend in modern science. These three concepts, which neuroscientists consider to be the most important, are viewed as a set of terms - consciousness - biological state of the brain, global perspective of the workspace and higher order. However, although each branch of science often considers the concept of consciousness at the level of the individual, in the end it is more interested in the problem of social consciousness. Therefore, over time, any society forms its own consciousness and determines its main directions, has become a recognized fact of science.
