THE EVOLUTION OF THE IDEAS OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AND FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE IN THE HISTORY OF SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT OF THE ANCIENT EAST
Dilfuza Sharifovna Egamova ,Abstract
The article analyzes the process of formation of the ideas of religious tolerance and freedom of conscience in the history of socio-philosophical thought of the ancient East and their gradual development. Religious views formed in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China, and based on them, ideas aimed at ensuring harmony and stability in the life of society are illuminated on a scientific basis. In Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, the principles of spiritual freedom, the right to choose one's faith, and tolerance are analyzed. Also, the views of ancient Eastern thinkers on religious freedom and moral values are explained by their role in strengthening social solidarity. The article shows that these ideas created a theoretical basis for the philosophical views of the next period and their influence on the formation of modern concepts of religious tolerance. Thus, in ancient Eastern thought, the ideas of religious harmony are analyzed as an important layer of the spiritual heritage of humanity.
