Discussion on humanism in contemporary literature

It is not surprising that it was precisely after the 20th and 22nd Congresses of the CPSU, in the relaxed atmosphere of the literary front, that the problems of humanism in contemporary literature were raised broadly and insistently. These problems became the subject of a several-day discussion in Moscow, organized by the Union of Soviet Writers and the M. Gorky Institute of World Literature. While in the West art is experiencing a rapid process of dehumanization, which Jean-Paul Sartre also spoke about in one of his interviews, in our country, in the socialist countries, the humanistic tasks of literature and art are growing. The construction of communism - the highest and most complete ideal of humanism - must be ensured in a moral attitude. The highest goal of our social development is the all-round and harmonious development of the human personality, the creation of such conditions in which the abilities and talents, the best moral qualities of a free person, fully blossom and are revealed. And this undoubtedly enriches our art, develops humanistic ideas in it.
