Abstract
Mesrop Mashdotz, the inventor of the Armenian alphabet and leader of the Armenian cultural movement of the fifth century, made a great contribution to the Armenian intellectual development of the time. His philosophical outlook was fashioned in consonance with the needs and aspirations of the nation for a lasting existence. Never disobedient to the principles of the Christian tenets, he proposed such solutions for some of the nonreligious matters ag would make him one of the foremost progressive leaders of his time. To Mashdotz the supreme value wag virtue, which led to redemption and perfection. To consummate salvation, Mashdotz resorted not only to the religious, but also to the cultural, political and other nonreligious imperatives. The ultimate accomplishment was salvation, which was freedom from evil and sin. With pristine devotion to knowledge, education and culture, Mashdotz rejected all egoism and advocated the principle of rational altruism. The universal principle and the national reality were at once juxtaposed. With an original national ideology, he blazed the trail for the great fifth-century translational work in Armenia.
