This article illuminates the philosophical content of the concept of societal culture and the stages of its historical-evolutionary development based on social analysis. In the study, the organic connection of culture with the development of humanity, the process of its formation from the primitive communal system to the era of digital civilization, is analyzed on a scientific basis. The interrelationship of societal culture with social systems, economic relations, ideology, and spiritual values is also revealed.
