HUMAN AND TIME IN THE KAZAKH WORLDVIEW: A PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW OF EXISTENTIAL BEING
Аннотация
This article examines the philosophical and existential understanding of human existence in relation to the categories of time and space in the context of the Kazakh worldview. The aim of the study is to identify the ontological specificity of ideas about man and time in traditional Kazakh philosophy and compare them with the existential ideas of Western philosophy. The author analyzes key concepts of Kazakh spiritual culture—"uaqyt," "kenistik," "tagdyr," and "omir"—in their philosophical and semantic dimensions, demonstrating how a unique model of human existence is revealed through language and culture. The methodological basis of the study is the principles of existential phenomenology (Maxim Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Karl Jaspers) and the ideas of Russian thinkers (Abai, Shәkәrіm, M. Zhumabaev). Particular attention is paid to the symbolic and metaphorical understanding of time and its influence on self-understanding in the Kazakh cultural tradition. The results of the study demonstrate that the Kazakh philosophical worldview, based on the concept of tutastyk (integrity), expresses the organic unity of man, time, and space. The article contributes to the development of philosophical anthropology and intercultural dialogue by revealing the value foundations of the existential dimension of human existence in the national worldview.
