Abstract:
Ossetian enlighteners (they are the first Ossetian writers) sought to comprehend the deep
causal relationships of the world-historical process and its historical concreteness, i.e. The history
of individual peoples and countries. In the change of social and economic formations, they saw
the logic of world history, the essence of which, by their conviction, in the general direction of the
world-historical process to progress. This logic reflects the unity, the integrity of the world-historical
process. And this unity of the enlighteners seen in the identity of the fate of the various peoples and
the similarity of the orders and the norms of their socio-historical being. At the same time, they
understood what a huge role in world history is played by the history of individual peoples living
in specific historical time and real social space. We realized that every people had their own way
of spiritual maturity, their fate. In a word, the world-historical process from the point of view of
historical concreteness is a militant picture of endless diversity, the uniqueness of specific historical
events that determine the fate of every people, class, personality; that the value of the contribution
of each to the World Historical Process is due to its uniqueness, originality, uniqueness. This concept
has determined their views on the historical fate of their people and its culture, art and literature.
So, based on the logic of the relationship of the World History and the historical process, which
determined their social and philosophical system of views, the Ossetian enlighteners have formed
their concept of national art, which largely led the birth of critical realism in the emerging Ossetian
literature, thereby determining its combat, offensive and analytical Character, socio-historical
deepening in the problems of people’s existence and philosophical horizons in general. The essence
of the concept of national art and literature of Ossetian enlighteners is, first of all, in the fact that
it was called upon to determine the place of art and literature as a specific, unique phenomenon in
the lives of modern society, with a complex of priority challenges. And the purpose of this art and
literature is to teach the Society to reflect on life, explore it, strive for its improvement, to progress.
The enlighteners also identified the functions of national art: educational, cognitive-transformed
and in general, of course, social functions.
