The scientific construct of national identity

Abstract

In this paper, the understanding of the terms «identity», and «national identity» is revealed, and their structure and ways of identification are determined. The conceptual understanding of these concepts presupposes the preliminary adoption of certain terms, from which, according to the deductive reasoning rules, many statements are derived that make up the content of this theory on the study problems. The preliminary acceptance of certain terms (considered axioms) is assumed, from which, according to the deductive reasoning rules, many statements that make up the content of a particular theory are derived. The study results emphasize that the basic concepts of the terms under consideration are determined in accordance with the established logical rules, which allows us to uniquely define their definition and meaning. In this regard, more or less strict control of the theory construction process of national identity is achieved, which allows us to deduce on their basis fundamentally new terms that open up prospects for further research, previously undiscovered and of significant interest to Kazakh science.
