Philosophy of Komitas Vardapet’s Ecological Ideas

Abstract

In the report, an attempt is made to reveal the philosophy of the ecological ideas of the 20^th century musician Komitas Vardapet using the analytical and comparative method. In this work, the lectures, researches and articles given by him in France, Turkey, Russia and other countries served as research material. The study highlights the evolution of the research mind of a musician-spiritualist with a humanitarian worldview, who made the transition from the study of his native ethno-religious culture to the way of studying and developing the music of other regional ethno-religious communities and thus enriched the universal culture. In that context, the issues of ecological ideas, the study of the philosophy of healing  music, and the organization of a harmonious dialogue between man and nature in the world over time are analyzed. From the presented point of view, Komitas Vardapet’s rich musical heritage has not been studied yet.
