BELLETRISTIC LITERATURE - A SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL AND ETHICAL UPBRINGING

Abstract

Literature is a fundamental part of humanities education: it provides an aesthetic understanding of the world, fosters a connection between generations, and transmits spiritual and moral values. Through literary images and aesthetic ideals, an individual's emotional and moral character is formed, and their capacity for reflection and making moral choices is stimulated. The stable formation of a spiritually rich, harmoniously developed personality requires a deliberate selection of texts, the moral example of the educator, and the coordinated interaction of family, school, and society to preserve national identity.
