Abstract

The whole process of the origin and development of human civilization and well-known historical facts give reason to believe that social processes in ancient society were accompanied not only by the accumulation of knowledge about the world around them, but also, more importantly, the emergence of a wider class of phenomena — the phenomenon of culture, which, with historical and modern expansive interpretation, covers both the spiritual and material spheres It represents the result of physical and spiritual creative activity of people. The phenomenon of culture has become the subject of research in the totality of not only social sciences and attracts the attention of researchers in various scientific fields. The existing multitude of theories and various definitions that reveal individual aspects, moments and sides of culture reflect the complexity and versatility of the phenomenon itself. This factor explains the lack of a generally accepted theory of culture and mutually agreed definitions in science. This situation in science is also caused by subjective moments, which boil down to the fact that the concept of culture denotes a variety of phenomena and objects.

The ontological aspects of culture as a systemic phenomenon lead to important conclusions. Firstly, like any social phenomenon, culture appears as an unbalanced, open system in continuous information exchange with the external environment. Secondly, culture has an inherent feature of development due to the interaction between the components of the system and the external environment. Thirdly, culture is an organic system, where the components that make up it acquire additional new qualities so that the system as a whole has broader functional capabilities compared to a mechanistic system. Culture can be considered as a historically conditioned self-organizing system. Its components, being homogeneous, are combined into a whole around the core of culture. This core is represented by a set of certain basic phenomena — cultural universals. They are the ultimate foundations of culture as existing in a given historical epoch.
