Country-Civilization: Main Features and Characteristics (Prole-gomena to the Creation of a Holistic Philosophical-Culturological Concept)

The article attempts to analyze the phenomenon of a country-civilization as a cultural and civiliza-tional organism in history and modernity. The study focuses on the main features and peculiarities of the country-civilization, as well as on the status of this category in the context of determining its objective-ontological essence. The author analyzes the consequences of the crisis of unipolar globalism, and emphasizes the socio-historical process of forming countries-civilizations as an objectively necessary response to the transformational crises of the world global system. The formation of countries-civilizations during the reconfiguration of the global system requires not only the process of transition from linear-progressive development to civilizational, but their synthesis. The study aims to identify and analyze the main features and patterns of the genesis of a country-civilization. The general basis of the study is the method of philosophical and cultural reconstruction and the method of substantive-semantic interpretation, the ascent from the abstract to the concrete, as the main method of the social and humanitarian sciences. The scientific novelty of the study is that it specifically analyzes the main features, patterns of formation and development of a country-civilization. In the course of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that a country-civilization is not just a type of state, but an integral cultural and civilizational formation, which in a certain historical period of time is incremented, realizing itself in the process of transition to higher stages of social devel-opment, increasingly multiplying the civilizational uniqueness of globalization.
