Mentality as the basis of the formation of the philosophical and legal model of the Ukrainian society

Abstract

The article clarifies the essence of such a philosophical and legal phenomenon as mentality and its influence on the formation of the Ukrainian community. The importance of mentality in the process of forming a new modern model of the Ukrainian community has also been clarified. Based on the analysis of the modern philosophical and legal doctrine, the essence of the community in the conditions of modern Ukrainian society through the prism of its axiological and culturological components is also revealed. It also shows the main features of the mentality of our people, which in one way or another affect various processes in our states, in particular, the process of community formation, as a unifying element for the effective coexistence of individuals with each other and with other subjects, including the state. One of the types of mentality is analyzed - the national mentality, which is also an important factor in the construction and functioning of the modern Ukrainian community, which is considered as a necessary condition for the development of both a strategic plan for the development of the state and law, as well as a tactical line of reforming the society itself. Each nation has its own mental base, which is its important component. It is formed over a fairly long period of time, but its effectiveness also lasts for a long time and is passed down from generation to generation. Thanks to this, people stick together, unite in certain formations (communities), develop themselves, the people around them and their country. Such a peculiarity of our people as mentality (especially strong spirit and liberality) helps us and other peoples to understand our culture, outlook, habits and actions in certain historical aspects and the current being of our people. The mentality itself is created for a very long time, and it is influenced by many factors, for example, historical events, state and legal reforms, etc. It should also be noted that following the process of the formation of our statehood, it can be stated that, despite the difficult historical fate, we Ukrainians have developed a rather strong mentality (this is especially evident now during the war). This strong side of our mentality manifests itself in almost everything, starting from the conduct of life, in state and legal processes, and ending with spiritual aspects.
