THE ROLE OF THOUGHT AND EMOTION IN LITERARY-AESTHETIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the interrelation and significance of two key elements—thought (intellect, logical analysis) and emotion (inner experience, emotional perception)—in the formation of literary and aesthetic views. While human thought defines the system of ideas expressed through artistic imagery, emotions enrich these images with sensitivity and aesthetic expression. The study demonstrates how the harmony of thought and feeling in literary creativity contributes to the creation of aesthetic meaning and reveals the reflection of the author's inner world in this process. It also examines the proportion and interaction of these two components in both historical and contemporary literary examples. The research applies aesthetic-philosophical approaches, literary analysis, and psychological methods. The findings have theoretical and practical value for literary scholars, educators, and creative writers.
