Abstract

The national idea is a form of reflection of a nation over the essence and meaning of the existence of its community. It reflects a set of axiological and teleological orientations of national existence. The national idea is formed on the basis of socio-historical traditions, culture, and mentality of the nation and, respectively, thereby influences these factors, acting as a peculiar life-giving consciousness, cultural and historical dynamics of national existence. The modern interpretation of the essence of the national idea is marked by pluralism and the mosaic of perception, which is generally characteristic of the plastic and rapid present. The idea of the scientists of the essence of the national idea is represented by a spectrum of concepts from theoretical nihilism, agnostic pessimism to the perception of the national idea as a certain "philosopher’s stone", "sacred landmark," "magic formula", capable of solving all the existing national problems.
