ARTISTIC PSYCHOLOGISM AND ITS SCIENTIFIC-THEORETICAL CRITERIA

The article deals with artistic psychology and its essence. The origins of artistic psychology go back to the time when literature began to portray human beings. From that time on, the basis of a literary hero's behavior was not only his external circumstances, but also his internal states, aspirations and needs. In Western literature, this phenomenon is called psychopoetics. In the modern world literature, it is thought that a number of theoretical views, methods and techniques have been developed that analyze and interpret fiction from a psychopoetic point of view.
