The Human Concept in the Poetry of Bakhtiyar Vahabzade

Abstract

The wise and philosophical poetry of the national poet Bakhtiyar Vahabzade, whose ideal is greatness, whose desire is purity, whose goal is sublimity, and whose love is beauty, is mainly built on four concepts: ideal, desire, goal and beauty! The poetry of Bakhtiyar Vahabzade is closely connected with the world of the heart and mind of man, his psychological-spiritual and philosophical-moral nature. The poet created rare examples of Azerbaijani poetry of the 20th century, relying on the artistic traditions of folklore, folk-ashug poetry, classical and world poetry, and was recognized as an innovative artist. The poetry of Bakhtiyar Vahabzade is the poetry of emotional understanding and logical understanding. The entire scope of his poetic understanding was provided by active creative imagination, connecting emotions, perception and imagination, as well as understanding, judgment and rational conclusion. Bakhtiyar Vahabzade brought an intellectual artistic style to our national poetry. His poetry is nourished by the dialectical laws of life, society and the world, the unity and struggle of opposites, the mysterious poetic states of negation by negation, quantitative and qualitative changes, as well as the basic laws of logic: identity, contradiction, exclusion of the middle, sufficient, and acquired individuality as poetry of artistic contrasts.  Bakhtiyar Vahabzade is our poet who most often expresses his lyrical “I” and who most often writes about the pain of the land, homeland and people. The theme of native language and mother occupies an important place in the work of Bakhtiyar Vahabzade. The poetic state of the poet's psychologism brought to the forefront our world of soul, heart and intellect. The philosophy of Bakhtiyar Vahabzade was based on the problem of the world and man, and the image of man occupied an important place in his rich poetry. The artistic philosophy of Bakhtiyar Vahabzade's poetry was born from his emotional and logical understanding. The artist was a subjective materialist in his poetic philosophy. Bakhtiyar Vahabzade is a people's, national and humanitarian artist.
