PROMOTION OF HUMANISM IDEAS IN THE CREATIVE WORK OF NIZAMI GANDJAVI

Abstract

Nizami Gandjavi, one of the brightest figures of Azerbaijani and Eastern culture, is one of the geniuses who had an unparalleled impact on the development of world literary and philosophical thought. The great poet, thinker and humanist artist, who was formed in the city of Ganja in the 12th century, had a strong impact not only on the literary and social environment of his time, but also on the literary and social environment of subsequent centuries. His rich heritage is considered one of the beacons of Azerbaijani literature and occupies a special place in the formation of our national and cultural identity.

Nizami's creativity acts not only as an example of artistic creativity in the history of Azerbaijani cultural thought, but also as a deep spiritual and philosophical source. In his works, concepts such as man, society, justice, freedom, morality, spirituality are widely covered. The poet accepts the spiritual perfection and moral exaltation of man as the main criterion, and values ​​him as a supreme being. The ideas put forward by Nizami in this direction have had a strong influence on the formation of Azerbaijani enlightenment, the national awakening movement, and modern humanist thought.

The poet also played an exceptional role in the worldwide promotion of Azerbaijani culture. Nizami's works have spread throughout the widest geographical space of the East, have been translated into Persian, Turkish, Arabic, Urdu, Armenian, Georgian, Russian, and European languages, and many artists have created poems, operas, paintings, and musical pieces based on his motifs. The poetic direction known as the "Nizami tradition" in world literature has given a serious impetus to the rise of the international prestige of Azerbaijani culture.

The article extensively examines the artistic presentation of the images of ordinary people, hard workers, and heroes of labor in Nizami Ganjavi's work, and how humanist ideas are propagated through these images. At the same time, the socio-philosophical burden of his works, the relevance of humanist ideals for the modern era are also analyzed with a scientific approach.
