Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of ethno-national ideology in the conditions of modern Russia

Abstract

The article attempts to analyze theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of ethno-national ideology in the conditions of modern Russia. The problem is considered on the basis of an integrative scientific approach to the methodology of socio-philosophical research. Taking as a basis the conceptual theoretical provisions of the "psychology of peoples" W. Wundt, the author analyzes the methodology of individualism, revealing the contradictions of individualistic psychologism. This made it possible to study the phenomenon of ethno-national ideology from the standpoint of various theoretical and methodological approaches: D. Homans' theory of social interaction, the provisions of E. Durkheim's classical positivism, G.V.F. Hegel. In conclusion, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to determine the priority directions in the development of the concept and integral program of ethno-national ideology in Russia.
