Abstract
The formation of independent critical moral consciousness is considered in the article as a priority purpose and quality criteria of modern education. The correlation of this purpose with the purposes of development of thinking, tolerance and creativity is analyzed. It is shown that in order to form critical moral consciousness it is necessary to combine versatile and profound knowledge with the development of autonomy, personal freedom and thinking. It is proved that education will promote the development of rational thinking if its methods are neither authoritarian nor suggestive. A special attention is paid to the idea of nonviolence as an essential factor of moral consciousness. The problems of overcoming destructive aggression by means of game, theatrical activity and creative self-realization in various creative projects are discussed.
