The article includes an analysis of the spectrum of criteria (socio-economic, legal, political, axiological, etc.) and features of civilization, which were considered from the point of view of comparison between different variants of historical course of societies in the direction of civilizational and non-civilizational advancement. In addition, the author reviews the peculiarities of development of civilization as a phenomenon and outlines the features of primitive, uncivilized societies. It is noted in the article that civilizations do not appear as static formations, but as dynamic formations of an evolutionary type. At the same time, even if all existing primitive societies are generally in a static state, this is not proof that they have always been in this state from the beginning. After all, the withered trunk remains as such even after the nutrient juices stop saturating it. The author emphasizes that presently the spiritual foundations of the Ukrainian cultural and civilizational tradition found themselves in a situation of needing answers to more powerful challenges than during the Soviet era, and they need courage and powerful internal forces and resources to face these challenges and respond to them with dignity.
