MAHMUDKHUJA BEHBUDI’S ENLIGHTENMENT IDEAS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE MORAL AND SOCIAL LIFE OF CONTEMPORARY UZBEKISTAN
Abstract
This article analyses the enlightenment ideas of the eminent early‑twentieth‑century Jadid reformer Mahmudkhuja Behbudi and demonstrates, on a scholarly basis, how they influence the moral and social development of modern Uzbekistan. The author examines Behbudi’s views on education, ethics, social justice, civic responsibility and women’s rights, and shows how these ideas are manifested under the conditions of New Uzbekistan. The study emphasises that Behbudi’s intellectual legacy is contributing to the upbringing of today’s youth, the formation of civil society, the restoration of national identity and the realisation of the Third Renaissance concept. The main conclusion is that his progressive thinking occupies an important place in contemporary moral–social progress.
