The monograph of the prominent Bulgarian philosopher Vasil Vichev is devoted to the study of the interaction between morality and the social psyche both in the system of public consciousness and in the motivation of human behavior. The author convincingly proves that the scientific analysis of moral and social mental phenomena, behavior, aspirations and moods of various groups and segments of the population is a necessary condition for a real assessment of events, their scientific forecasting and management. The study of the essence and specific social functions of morality and the social psyche has not only relevant theoretical and methodological, but also important practical and pedagogical significance for increasing the effectiveness of educational work, for the formation of a high socialist consciousness of workers.
