Abstract:
The article based on the analysis of Ossetian literature identifies and analyzes the stages of
the formation of an individual’s personality as a subject of labor in the philosophical-aesthetic
comprehension by the artistic consciousness of the Ossetians. It is shown that, on the one hand,
the Ossetian artistic consciousness considered labor as a powerful factor in the formation of the
essence of a person, and as a complex social phenomenon, organically connected with the laws of
the development of society, on the other hand. It was the Ossetian enlighteners, who paid attention
to this circumstance, and for the first time thought about the dialectics of the necessity and freedom
of social labor. The enlighteners also noted the estate-political conditionality of labor in a class
society. Comprehension of the process of formation of a person as a subject of labor by the folklore
consciousness of Ossetians, reflecting the relationship of personal dependence in the primitive
and feudal eras, can be conditionally attributed to the first stage. Then the Ossetian literature of
critical realism reflected the specifics of the formation of the subject of labor in a capitalist society,
where private property relations are realized and a person is formed with rich social and spiritual
properties, needs, connections as an integral and universal product of society (K. Marx). This is the
second stage in the formation of a person as a creator, a subject of labor, in the understanding of the
artistic consciousness of the Ossetians. At the same time, a person in the world of commodity-money
relations acquires the ability to work hard, significantly developing relations of personal dependence,
which is reflected in the work of educators, writers (K. Khetagurov, I. Kanukov, S. Gadiev, E. Britaev,
A. Kubalov and etc.). The third stage, reflected in the literature of socialist realism and implemented
in Soviet society, is characterized by the development of free individuality as a result of changes
in the forms of ownership, the orientation of the subject, while the requirements for a person as a
subject of social production have significantly increased. This is an understanding of one’s social and
moral responsibility, an increase in the level of professionalism. Ossetian literature also reflected the
fact that a person in the world of a totalitarian-planned economy is faced with a very significant
contradiction between party, political and ideological attitudes and reality, as a result, creativity,
work and education in a sense devalue under the conditions of administrative and economic dictate,
and relations personal independence is replaced by economic and administrative dependence.
