Abstract

Nowadays the problem of Ideal is no less urgent to study than in previous centuries. Ideal interpretation is a hot topic for debate in contemporary philosophy, cultural studies, political science, public administration theory. The purpose of the article is to move from general vision of Social Ideal to its interpretation in the light of the understanding of religious form of ideation. The basic method of this research is the method of hermeneutics and cultural-anthropological analysis. The modern polysystemic vision of Social Ideal problems makes it possible to explore the Ideal in the light of the definition of ideation types. There is given classification of ideation types: religious, ethical, aesthetic, which are rooted in the reality of cultural practices and have an influence on the Social Ideal formation. It is proved that religion and art are the most broad cultural practices, and ethical and aesthetic should be defined as the reflection. The article analyzes the cultural practice, which is based on a religious form of ideation. There is considered the modelling of Ideal in cultural and anthropological matrix.
