CULTURAL-PHILOSOPHICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE FAMILY AS A SOCIAL PHENOMENON

Skopa V. A.

The article presents an attempt at a cultural and philosophical understanding of the family as a social phenomenon. It is determined that the family is perceived not only as an individual unit consisting of blood ties, but also as a complex social phenomenon that plays a key role in the formation of cultural identity and social norms. In the context of historical development, it becomes obvious that family culture varies depending on historical, economic and social conditions. Throughout history, the forms of family relations and their content have changed. The philosophical-anthropological and philosophical-cultural approaches allow us to understand why certain forms of marriage and crises in the family appeared. It is established that the family not only reflects cultural heritage and traditions, but also serves as a basis for the formation of personal and collective identity.
