This article analyzes the expression of Western and Eastern cultures in artistic thinking based on a comparative approach, drawing from the works of Ray Bradbury and Isajon Sulton. Through these works, the perception of the world by representatives of two cultures, their attitudes towards moral and aesthetic values, and the ideological directions conveyed through artistic imagery are revealed. In Bradbury’s works, technological progress and the relationship between the individual and society are interpreted within the context of Western culture, while in Sulton’s works, human psychology, national identity, and spiritual quests are expressed through Eastern perspectives. The article demonstrates how global issues can be illuminated through national literary thinking by comparatively analyzing the literary and artistic manifestations of intercultural thought. The research results showcase the aesthetic expression of the harmony between cultural views and universal values through literary texts. The article examines issues of cultural identity, individualsociety relationships, cultural memory, and modernity through the examples of “Fahrenheit 451” and “The Eternal Wanderer.” The author analyzes the artistic functions of intercultural communication, demonstrating how motifs, images, and metaphors are employed in this process.
