PHILOSOPHICAL SYMBOLISM AND THE POETICS OF EXISTENTIAL REFLECTION IN ABDULLA ORIPOV'S POETRY

This article examines philosophical symbolism and existential reflection in the poetry of Abdulla Oripov, emphasizing the relationship between human existence, moral consciousness, temporality, and poetic expression. Drawing on philosophical hermeneutics, existential thought, and literary semiotics, the study investigates how symbolic imagery transforms individual emotional experience into broader reflections on responsibility, conscience, freedom, and the meaning of life. Particular attention is devoted to the relationship between the lyrical subject and ethical choice, the representation of time and mortality, and the interaction between spiritual experience and cultural values. The analysis argues that Oripov's philosophical poetry develops an ethically oriented form of existential reflection grounded in Uzbek literary traditions.
