- Abstract:
- This article analyzes Catherine II's pedagogical tales—"The Tale of Prince Chlorus" and "The Tale of Prince Fevey"—as tools for shaping the personality of the future enlightened monarch. A connection is established between the political philosophy of enlightened absolutism, outlined in the "Instruction" of the Legislative Commission, and the educational principles laid out in these tales for the Grand Dukes Alexander Pavlovich and Konstantin Pavlovich. A comparative analysis of the texts of the "Instruction" and the tales allows us to conclude that the latter convey key ideas of autocracy and class hierarchy, as well as the concept of "moral equality."
