Introduction. The sphere of modern education is the sphere of searching for its new principles of organization, and these principles should be connected with the structure and logic of modern culture. Rethinking world and national history (a sign of recent years) is a multi-level, multifactorial process that requires work in aspects of the methodology of historical science, historical education and enlightenment. In addition, the course “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood” introduced into the university programs, which contains a multidisciplinary content, needs a methodological solution to the ways of forming historical consciousness among students. In this regard, the research of historical consciousness in the space of philosophical culture is of particular importance. Methodology. The socio-philosophical approach, as well as observation and analysis of the pedagogical process, generalization of personal experience of teaching philosophy constitute the methodological basis of this study. Discussion. The paper formulates practical tasks of philosophical enlightenment in the context of the problem of historical consciousness. It is shown that through the adoption of traditional philosophical principles of mastering the world, the student is given the opportunity to know himself as a historical subject. The emphasis is placed on the fact that only subjectivity in history is the way to the formation of the historical consciousness of each person. The image of a historical event is a form of individual memory, which becomes a special form of social memory. Conclusion. Philosophical enlightenment provides methods for analyzing the specific features of historical consciousness and gives their philosophical and categorical description. The shown methodological approach to philosophical enlightenment may be effective in an attempt to take a theoretical view of philosophy as a methodology of pedagogical thought.
