Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show that the intelligentsia’s role and influence in the selection, retention, transfer and development of cultural traditions is essentially linked with the secular humanist cultural tradition creativity, since intelligentsia as a social community, emerges and develops historically in the development of secular culture. Its actual mission is in preservation, development and translation of progressive cultural tradition to the entire population; in a humanistic orientation and consolidation of society in its legal, political, moral and aesthetic status. The attention is focused on the intelligentsia’s main activity through which its essential relationship with the secular cultural tradition — in knowledge, science, education, upbringing, moral, aesthetic and philosophical search — is realized. It is their consideration that makes an analytical framework to determine the essential link of intelligentsia with the secular cultural tradition.
