Introduction: Philosophical and cultural research is positioned to study culture's structure, function, and role. At the same time, the philosophy of the cultural phenomenon focuses on identifying the main evolutionary cultural trends and understanding the causes of crisis phenomena.
Objective: This research implements a scientific inquiry into the cultural aspects of societal development in the context of philosophical knowledge. A systematic analysis of the societal and cultural development stages was carried out to comprehend these processes according to the established periodisation in philosophical teachings.
Methods: A number of theoretical research methods were used, including historical, philosophical and philosophical-cultural methods, holistic and systemic analysis, synthesis, methods of comparison, generalization, and others.
Results: It is substantiated that the synergy of philosophy and culture forms a unique reflective-conceptual framework for the cultural development of society, endowing it with integrity and orderliness and enabling the rationalisation of individual elements within the social system. It has been proven that the model of philosophical knowledge within the traditional cognitive and cultural paradigm, which correlates with order, balance, stability, and determinism, does not correspond to the realities and challenges of the modern world with its chaos, imbalance, instability, and volatility. The study found that the ideas of synergism have not lost their paradigmatic significance to this day.
Conclusions: Thus, it is demonstrated that the essence of the philosophical nature of cultural aspects is positioned as the development of the human position in the philosophical-cultural dimension in a historical-temporal context.
