Ritual as a Factor of Genesis Social Regulation

This article aims to explore the role of ritual as a factor in the genesis and formation of social norms. The study seeks to reveal the social-integrative function of ritual, analyze its role in the development of forms of social communication, and provide a socio-philosophical analysis of ritual as a crucial factor in the genesis and establishment of a set of social norms.
The study employs a socio-philosophical approach, drawing on the works of anthropologists, sociologists, and philosophers who have examined the phenomenon of ritual and its relationship to social regulation. The analysis involves a comparative examination of ritual, custom, and ceremony, as well as an exploration of the symbolic and communicative aspects of ritual practices.
The fi ndings suggest that ritual is a complex and multifaceted social phenomenon that goes beyond its association with religious and mystical elements. Ritual plays a crucial role in the organization and regulation of social life, serving as a means of
social integration, communication, and the genesis of social and legal norms. The study highlights the ritual's ability to translate mythological concepts into practical-applied dimensions, shaping ideological and political-legal frameworks.
The article argues that ritual is not merely a set of actions accompanying a sacred act or a formalized social ceremony, but a much more complex and extensive social phenomenon. Ritual serves as a fundamental tool for the organization and management of human society, contributing to the development of social communication and the formation of social and legal norms. The analysis
of the role of ritual in international relations and its influence on the legitimation of power further underscores the signifi cance of ritual in the broader context of social regulation and normative development
