| Annotation | The article presents socio-philosophical analysis of people’s self-consciousness formation problem, whose mainstreaming is determined by contemporary social processes. Reflection on methodological foundations of the phenomenon is carried out through turning to the conceptions of the Russian 19th century philosophers. This makes it possible to come to conclusions about the use of definite categorial-terminological tools in studying these issues and their transformation in the contemporary period in connection with the increasing complexity of the process analyzed. Methodological analysis of the concept of “the people” makes it possible to justify the use of the term “self-consciousness of the people” as an alternative to “national self-consciousness”. Multi-faceted nature of the problem in the contemporary Russian society is indicated, and major factors, influencing in a multidirectional way on people’s self-consciousness formation, are analyzed. The role of globalization, glocalization, migrations, ethnic patchiness and other factors in transforming people’s consciousness, explicating itself in identity transformation is revealed. The essence of the problem consisting in a contradiction is uncovered: on the one hand, the progressive development of the society accompanied by the emergence of new social processes is evident; on the other hand, people’s self-consciousness weakens. Post-national identity formation reflecting overcoming the boundaries of national mentality and self-consciousness is viewed as one of the major tendencies of people’s self-consciousness transformation. Finally, reflection on the possibility of the combination of national and post-national components as the crucial condition of the Russian people self-consciousness formation is carried on. |
