Urgency of the research. At the present stage of Ukraine's development, the issues of preserving one's own spiritual culture and national identity are especially relevant. Therefore, it is important to reflect on the formation of the "culture" and "folk culture" concepts in the creative scientists and educators heritage, who were at the origins of theoretical awareness of these concepts.

Target setting. Seeking to comprehend the formation process of the concept of "culture", we focus on the analysis of the creative Herder’s work - the thinker who introduced into scientific circulation the term "folk culture".

Actual scientific analysis researches and issues analysis. The creative search of modern researchers of the national cultural process Yu. Ru-denko, O Sukhomlynska, M. Yevtukha, E. Syavavko, and others is aimed at its reflection in ethnographic work in the educational space.

The research objectives. The purpose of the study is to analyze the Herder's concept as one of the founders of the culture and cultural nationalism theory. This will allow us to consider the concept of "folk culture" substantively - as a basis for national identification and education of youth’s national consciousness.

The statement of basic materials. Herder carried out the study of culture as a complex system, considering the material and spiritual culture, showing the conditionality of its development by internal and external conditions, proved the historicity of culture. Each of the cultures reveals a way of determining a person's place in the world, a certain type of self-identification that is connected with the national consciousness. Herder proclaimed that the development of socio-cultural experience and the formation of national consciousness occurs in the education process. The philosopher defined cultural conformity as one of the basic principles of the organization of education and people's life in the state.

Conclusions. The analysis of Herder's work revealed the conceptual and categorical foundations of the "cultural nationalism" concept. It is proved that the thinker considered culture as a means of forming an ethnic community. It was found that Herder was at the origins of the assertion of the cultural conformity principle in the educational process. Thus, the analysis of the "folk culture" concept formation in the scientist’s work allowed in terms of content to consider it as a basis for national identification and education of national consciousness of youth.
