Abstract


Scientific Ukrainian studies has Ukraine as its object of study as a systemic whole in space and time. The body of knowledge about Ukraine creates an empirical foundation, theoretical generalizations create a heuristic image of it and allow the creation of prognostic development models. Depending on the set goal and the tools of their interpretation, the use of such knowledge is included in the following basic constructions: 1) dogmatism, 2) eclecticism, 3) systematicity, and 4) synergy. Systematicity makes it possible to differentiate the object of knowledge (Ukraine) into separate subjects and, thus, comprehensively study it in various ways in certain dimensions of existence. Synergism is aimed at combining subject knowledge about certain features of the object of knowledge into a coherent picture of it. It is in this direction that the main vector of the development of modern Ukrainian studies emerges. The accumulated breadth of objective knowledge about Ukraine changes the creative role in the formation of national consciousness and the development of civil society. In the conditions of a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, it is the consolidation of the productive forces of the state that act as a guarantee of its independence and sovereignty.
