Abstract
The main purpose of the article is to explore the concept of hospitality in Kazakh culture throughout the centuries, identify ethical categories through analysis. In order to achieve this goal, the qualities and actions that are the basis of human existence, which constitute the relationship of "man and morality" that is the core of the worldview of nomads, are analyzed as ethical categories. In this regard, the national identity and the forms of its manifestation characteristic of the Kazakh worldview, which constitute the identity, became the object of phenomenological assessment as an ethical category. In this context, based on historical and cultural, legend-oriented, folklore-based materials, the practical aspects of the formation of human nature in the Kazakh tradition formed in national consciousness were studied. Tradition or established culture are factors that determine the existence of human beings. By defining the ethical categories that make up human existence, we open the way to defining our national identity, characteristic of our people. In the course of defining this goal, the categories of hospitality, shame, repentance, justice, obligation became a means of analysis in the philosophical context as a substance that makes up the apparatus of the teaching of ethics. The phenomenological assessment of ethical categories in the Kazakh tradition reveals the essence of the ethical categories proposed above. Because phenomenological assessment means looking at the essence of any category.
