Ideological problems are usually updated within the crisis, the transition of society, when there is a need for a new society of self-determination and choice of new political-legal, socio-economic and socio-cultural models. Historical experience shows that in the world there was no society that have functioned without specially made ideologies or worldviews. Famous thinkers and scientists have tried to not only explore the history of ideas and ideologies, not only to isolate the most common value priorities of a people, but also offer new methodological approaches to this problem. In the present analysis socio-humanities axiological aspects of ideological systems of different peoples and countries of the world is important. For Ukrainian studies equally important is the analysis of public perceptions of modern Ukrainian national idea. The сhanges in the socio-cultural and cognitive situations require from Ukrainian study as integrative science the development of new methods, concepts and methodologies to adequately investigating Ukraine and ukrainianness in a complex changing world.
