The rapid development of digital technologies has fundamentally transformed the social, cultural, and ideological foundations of contemporary society. Digital platforms, artificial intelligence, social media, and global communication networks have created a new socio-cultural environment in which national consciousness, national identity, and spiritual values undergo continuous transformation. This article examines the socio-philosophical dimensions of the renewal of national consciousness and spiritual values within the digital environment. Employing conceptual, comparative, and socio-philosophical methods, the study analyzes the dialectical relationship between digitalization and national identity, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges generated by digital transformation. The findings demonstrate that digital technologies simultaneously facilitate the preservation and promotion of national culture while exposing societies to cultural homogenization, information manipulation, and ideological fragmentation. The study argues that the sustainability of national identity in the digital age depends upon strengthening digital culture, information literacy, value-oriented education, and ethical digital governance. The research contributes to contemporary social philosophy by proposing an integrated theoretical framework for understanding the interaction between digital civilization and national-cultural development.
