The origins of education and worldview

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the factors that influenced the formation of education, world outlook and civic position of Academician D.S. Likhachev, whose spiritual and moral potential, being embedded in the family, was formed in a dialogue with time and those people who created his cultural and intellectual landscape. In the personality of D.S. Likhachev harmoniously combined courage and dignity, loyalty to high principles, moral exactingness towards oneself and other people, intellectual freedom and a sense of civic responsibility. D.S. Likhachev without exaggeration can be called “the keeper of the national culture and conscience of Russia”, the brightest phenomenon not only of Russian, but also of world culture. Life and work of D.S. Likhachev is a feat of a Russian intellectual who shared the fate of his country, all the trials that it faced in the 20th century.
