The dissertation examines the genesis of philosophical and socio-humanitarian understanding of the phenomenon of sociality in the Turkic world, the development of ideas about the evolution of the Turkic world as "being-together", co-existence of difference and plurality. It is argued that the phenomenon of Turkic sociality is a kind of unifying philosophy and ideology of different Turkic nationalities, which have created independent state and political structures and to some extent remain independent world actors.
The methodological basis of the dissertation research is outlined, which is represented by system-historical, constructivist, comparative, world-system and civilizational approaches to the analysis of the phenomenon of Turkic sociality. It was found that the concept of "Turkic sociality" in modern research often converges with the concepts of "image of the territory", "regional identity" and is used more in an instrumental way, in particular, in political practice and for the development of political brands than in the context of modern social philosophical knowledge. It is argued that in such an ontology the Turkic world is not an "ontology of society" in the sense of a "regional ontology", but an ontology of "sociality". Interdisciplinary discourse on the definition of Turkic sociality presents knowledge of the development of Turks under the influence of cultures of previous eras.
The socio-cultural transformation of the phenomenon of Turkic sociality in the ideological matrix "East-West", given by postmodern cultural polycentrism, is considered. The problems of self-identification of Turkic peoples, features of their geopolitical, human and cultural self-determination are characterized. The importance of implementing the paradigm of "East-centrism" as a response to the socio-historical and cultural challenge, which was determined by the claim of "Eurocentrism" to spread around the world.
Analysis of the evolution of worldview orientations of the Turkic ethnos made it possible to distinguish the socio-spiritual essence of the Turkic "ethos" through the essence of the ethnic mentality formed on the basis of the collective subconscious, which generates archetypes and mythological "images of WE". It is determined that ethnic self-identification in the mentality of the Turks is based on the genetic relationship of conscious and unconscious, mythological and religious, which affects the consciousness of the individual, and also persists for millennia.
The social structure of the societies of the Turkic world is studied and the specifics of its formation are characterized through the analysis of the political, economic and spiritual spheres of existence of the Turkic peoples. The factors complicating Turkic society, the formation of statehood (Turkic Khaganates), the transition to nomadic empires, the formation of social and political institutions, the processes of urbanization in the steppes, a comprehensive description of power and social systems in the unification of the ancient Turks. The socio-qualities of the Turks are highlighted, which reflect the peculiarities of the system of Turkic statehood in the conditions of modern nation-genesis: Manasing and Passionism. It is determined that the social system of self-preservation and survival of the Turkic peoples was built according to the scheme: family - clan - tribe - society - humanity. This matrix is the specificity of the ethnic mentality and ethnic identity. It is stated that even at the heart of the formation of the statehood of the Turks are family ties.
The principles and problems of equal integration of Turkic states into the global architecture of the world are revealed. It is emphasized that the formation and integration into the global world of the Turkic idea takes place against the background of the general weakening of traditional ties between generations, which leads to the loss of succession of generations, to the moral degradation of modern Turkic societies.
The specifics of Ukrainian-Turkic relations are studied. The identification features of the Turkic and Ukrainian mentality are characterized, the forms of manifestation of the duality of nature in the ethnic and social history of the two ethnic groups are comprehended. A comparative analysis of the culture, society and values of Ukrainian and Turkic societies related to economic and globalization development and entry into the world arena of the Turkic region and Ukraine.
