WORD OUTLOOK IN THE POEM «KUTADGU BILIG» BY JUSUP BALASAGYN

Abstract

This article is devoted to research J. Balasagyn’s poem «Kutadgu Bilig» which is devoted to the study of philosophical views, understanding of the world, worldview, i.e. epistemology. The materialism of J. Balasagyn is closely connected with his spontaneous-dialectical views. He wrote that all the phenomena of nature grow and are constantly in motion in accordance with that change, that the old thing dies and gives way to the new, that human life is not eternal, that man is born again, grows old and is forced to die. J. Balasagyn used his ideas about materialism and spontaneous dialectics not only in the study of natural phenomena, but also in the study of social life. J. Balasagyn considered Kuntuduu to be a symbol of legitimacy. According to him, justice and morality are one of the most important qualities of a ruler. If the head of state rules fairly on the basis of the law, justice will surely prevail.
