The article is devoted to the essence and features of the critical period of social ideal development in the context of the Russian state functioning with the market economy of the transitive period. The philosophical aspects of the social ideal are considered in the historical and personological perspective, its nature, sources, the relationship of structural components - the ideals of social justice, liberty and freedom, Holiness and sacredness, community and conciliarity, strong statehood. The nature of the initial contradiction concluded in the archetype of universal consent and unity, between consent through self-government and consent through domination in the Russian tradition, resolved by a margin in the direction of the second, is shown. Based on the analysis of the Russian philosophers research results, it is shown that the social ideal as an expression and consequence of the national character is manifested at three levels – deep (static), surface (dynamic), superficial (situational).
