This article explores the culture of neighborliness within Uzbek society, emphasizing its significance both as a social practice and a recurring theme in Uzbek literature. It examines how neighborliness, rooted in historical and communal traditions, functions as a moral and ethical value that fosters social cohesion. The study highlights the reflection of these values in classical and modern Uzbek poetry and prose, with special attention to figures like Alisher Navoi and the rich oral folklore. The article illustrates how Uzbek literature not only preserves but also reinterprets the ideals of mutual respect, empathy, and solidarity, revealing their continued relevance in contemporary social contexts.
