The book examines the moral principles of theatre, emphasizing honesty with the audience, respect within the ensemble, and the responsibility of art to society. This collection brings together unpublished during Stanislavsky’s lifetime notes that still teach how to create performances capable of touching and inspiring viewers. Stanislavsky’s “Ethics” reveals the foundations of acting craft. Although the author’s life the book was not finished and published, it contains materials such as “From notes on artistic ethics and discipline” and “From notes on theatrical art.” These ideas remain relevant for today’s theatre, helping to create performances that deeply move audiences. Sincerity in acting allows characters to be embodied truthfully, while mutual respect and trust within the group contribute to successful rehearsals and performances. Awareness of responsibility to the viewer encourages understanding of the social significance of art. Stanislavsky’s system helps theatres maintain high standards and find new forms suited to the times.
