Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of the diversity of approaches to understanding and interpreting such a complex and ambiguous phenomenon as historical culture that has emerged in the works of foreign and domestic authors to date. A comparison of the various approaches and points of view with regard to the interpretation of the concept itself, its structure, functions and the variety of conceptions of the nature of the phenomenon leads to the conclusion that the field of historical cultural research, on the one hand, is still in the process of being developed, both of its categorical apparatus and the methods and methodology used in its study. On the other hand, it is necessary to note the interdisciplinary nature of the field of concern, which falls within the scope of research of historians, sociologists, philosophers, psychologists, cultural scientists and representatives of other sciences. In this regard, the synthesis of various methodological traditions may provide a definite horizon for further exploration of historical culture.
