The problem of cognitive construction of consolidating mechanisms by analyzing the phenomenon of common sense as the cognitive basis of solidarity, leading to a stable integrity of ethnic structures, is considered. The work uses a system analysis, in which the content of intelligence and ethnic structures are understood as integral systems capable of deep integration. It was found that the presence of ethnicity at the borders of social and biological transforms it into a phenomenon with a high degree of transformation, and especially in the imaginary space of identity. A cognitive mechanism for constructing identification, which ultimately generates certain models of ethnic behavior, seems to be a systemic element that allows any ethnic images to function. Common sense is one of the methods of constructing ethnic, goal-oriented activity. It can potentially act not only as a source of everyday communication, but also initiate both internal and external cooperative activities of ethnic entities united by an understanding of the common social good, including the good of the planetary. The authors make an attempt to comprehend the cognitive conditions for the functioning of ethnicity through the prism of the concept of common sense - the universal anthropological basis of a conscious social good. Common sense defines historical memory, operational reactions in the moment of the present, and a joint vision of the future. This important ability is based on a common basis for any ethnic group - the biopsychosocial nature of the cognitive capabilities of most members of the group. It is in this process of collective self-awareness that social intuition manifests itself, that is, such an integral socio-psychological characteristic of the subject of social action, which includes the ability to effectively predict the development of social situations.
