Аxiological potential of art in forming spiritual and cultural values

Abstract

The article explores the axiological potential of art as a key factor in the formation and preservation of spiritual and cultural values of modern society. The need to move from a narrowly aesthetic perception of art to its consideration as an effective tool of value socialization aimed at the development of moral self-identification of the individual and strengthening the collective cultural code is substantiated. An interdisciplinary approach is applied in the course of the work: philosophical and hermeneutic analysis of the concepts of axiology and creativity, culturological reflection of the phenomenon of sacred and public art, as well as a pedagogical review of the practices of introducing the artistic component into educational programs. The mechanisms of value actualization (symbolic, emotional-perceptual and reflective) are identified, through which artistic images transform individual and collective experience, contributing to the development of critical thinking, ethical sensitivity and existential reflection. Particular attention is paid to the role of sacred art in supporting spiritual continuity and public art as a means of strengthening cultural identity and solidarity.
The results of the study confirm that the systematic inclusion of artistic practice in socio-cultural and educational policies creates conditions for sustainable and humanistically oriented development, acting as a reliable barrier against spiritual disorientation and value fragmentation characteristic of postmodernity.
