Spiritual and Moral Development of the Personality in Modern Educational Space

Abstract

Grounding of the research. Culture is a certain set of values, characteristics, standards, norms, knowledge, things, which characterize the cultural state. Culture ensures the involvement of the personality in the "human" sphere and promotes his internalization. It has to be said that the content of culture accumulates the development of the personality as a whole and at the same time promotes his individual characteristic features. Values and cultural norms, art, morality, and all the achievements of the spiritual sphere create the atmosphere of the human being’s openness, which promotes cultural genesis. Culture, which is related to the ability to see and the ability to be limited in one’s needs, actualizes the assessment of cultural phenomena. As a result it highlights the phenomenon of values. Aim of the research was to validate the relevance of moral and spiritual development of the personality in modern educational space. The growing importance of the spiritual sphere and the intensive development of social spheres prove that the intensification of science and production is impossible without the intensification of the spiritual life, the increase of the role of initiative, activity, and creative effort of the individual. Actually, it is provided by the education, which is not only a way to protect people from negative influences, but also a key to determine their place in the system of complex industrial and social relations. That is why the content of the person’s being must first be reduced to moral perfection, which is impossible without the spiritual basis. The spirituality itself guides the person to self-improvement and self-realization, providing a free disclosure of his individuality in the process of a multi-faceted activity. The result of research shows growing importance of the spiritual sphere and the intensive development of social spheres prove that the intensification of science and production is impossible without the intensification of the spiritual life, the increase of the role of initiative, activity, and creative effort of the individual. The conclusions of the research are that, the problem of spiritual and moral development of the personality has become increasingly important because a person who gradually achieves spiritual and moral perfection has a significant influence on the structuring of socio-cultural space, and leaves creative heritage for future generations. Within the limits of this orientation for the future a specific role is given to the formation of spirituality, as it directs the person to improve his inner human qualities, mental and spiritual features. It is out of the question that modern socio-cultural space requires the creation of certain conditions for personal development in which it will be possible to reveal the processes of formation of knowledge of intangible cultural heritage and its connection to the spiritual experience, cultural practices, social processes and development of personality’s spirituality.
