Abstract

The article shades light on the role and influence of oriental philosophical traditional views on the development of man, the process of his spiritual self-realization, formation of spiritual values from the point of view of the concepts of modern philosophy. The philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of individual freedom in ancient philosophy, in particular, classical Indian yoga, has been carried out. Practical methods of achieving the liberation of consciousness offered by the yoga system are analyzed. It is noted that the value of yoga as a spiritual teaching lies precisely in its effective practical method of self-perfection. Awareness of universal unity implies depersonalization as a way towards liberation and the emergence of a new state of consciousness, to which the true reality is revealed - the deep unity of all things. Emphasis is placed on spiritual freedom as a basic concept in social philosophical cognition in classical Indian yoga and oriental philosophy.
