Abstract
This article considers the modern conception of spirituality as a potential inspiration for ideas on the formation of prosocial attitudes. It offers a fairly detailed account and history of this conception, which sees spirituality as a more universal (not necessarily religious) phenomenon directly associated with human personality.
The premise for exploration of the relation-ship between spirituality and the formation of prosocial attitudes is a conviction of the importance of the role played by the spiritual dimension of the personality in the choice of specific attitudes and behavior. Spiritual experience, which need not necessarily have an exclusively religious form, may also be considered an important psychologically integrating factor element in individual motivation.
