Peculiarities of the Relationship Between Cultural Policy, Communication and Cultural Worldview

Abstract

The article is focused on the issue of determining the key ideological prerequisites and means of forming social consciousness, which cultural policy is based on. The article argues that one of the means that forms the worldview of a society and individuals’ activity in terms of understanding cultural policy is cultural worldview, which acts as a «mediator» and a channel of communication between the state, the scientific community and public consciousness. It has been analyzed that the most important task on the way to achieving the main goals of the state cultural policy is not only broad information about the essence of cultural policy but understanding this essence. As a result, a tendency: «cultural policy – intercultural communication, as an object of cultural policy – cultural worldview, as a means of intercultural communication» has been revealed at the present stage of socio-cultural development. Moreover, it has been substantiated that the patterns of intercultural communication reflect the relations between cultural systems, indicate their internal connections and relationships (the structure of cultural reality) and, thereby, form cultural worldview
