THE MOTIF OF THE CITY IN S. AFLATUNI'S PROSE

Abstract

in Aflatuni prose, the urban motif is studied mainly through social, cultural and spiritual aspects. The city, its population composition, management system, social strata, architecture and economic life occupy a central place in the stories. Aflatuni attempts to portray an ideal society through the urban motif, in which justice, human rights, knowledge and spirituality are central. Through various aspects of urban life, such as markets, decision-making assemblies, schools, situations that occur in religious and philosophical environments, social networks and communication between people are analyzed. Aflatuni, especially in his work "the Republic", shows the structure of an ideal society through the urban motif, its principles of governance and its moral foundations. The city, at the same time, is presented as an environment that educates and maintains justice, knowledge and spirituality. Through these motifs, Aflatuni presents a methodology of thought aimed at the organization of society and its development.
