Aitmatov’s ethic-philosophical views are examined and analysed in the article through the prism of philosophical categories of good and evil, related to religious and cultural traditions of humanity. The conditional artistic receptions are investigated for the task solution, which have been found reflection in works of writer. Conclusion: the creativity of Aitmatov is a holistic system based on ethical and philosophical views that form an idea of the correct and rational structure of the world. The themes of continuation of the human species and the relationship of the individual with the surrounding reality are the link of all Aitmatov’s works.
