Abstract

Culture is a fundamental aspect of human development, encompassing both material and spiritual forms. It serves not only as a product of societal activity but also as a mechanism that shapes and regulates human behavior across various social domains. The article delves into the philosophical and historical perspectives of culture and its dialectical relationship with civilization, particularly focusing on the role of ethnoculture. Ethnoculture is presented as the core of national spirit, preserving social memory and national identity through the transmission of traditions and values. Despite its significance, the impact of ethnoculture on the preservation of national identity in the era of globalization remains underexplored, particularly in the context of philosophical thought and social cohesion. This research aims to highlight the importance of ethnoculture as the essence of a nation's spirit and its role in maintaining historical continuity, societal harmony, and national identity. The study reveals that ethnoculture, as the spiritual heritage of a nation, plays a vital role in preserving social memory, ensuring national cohesion, and safeguarding cultural identity amidst globalizing forces. The article contributes new insights into the importance of ethnoculture in modern education, national identity preservation, and cultural heritage in the context of globalization, drawing on both historical and contemporary philosophical perspectives. The findings underscore the need for integrating ethnocultural values in educational curricula, supporting cultural heritage preservation, and reinforcing national identity against global influences through policy initiatives and academic research.
