Abstract
This article analyzes the concept of zaman in the Kazakh worldview, its significance in the collective consciousness, and the semantic complexity it acquires in accordance with the changing flow of time, while examining its philosophical and social dimensions. The concept of zaman in the Kazakh worldview is examined from the perspective of the unity of social space and time, and on this basis, the idea that the essence of zaman is revealed through such unity is systematized. A philosophical study of the concept of zaman makes it possible to explore the profound and multifaceted issues of time and existence. In the traditional worldview of the Kazakh people, zaman is considered not only as a chronological measure but also through its social, historical, and cultural context. Through the objective and subjective aspects of zaman, one of the key philosophical tasks becomes understanding the historical development of the individual and society, as well as their spiritual evolution. The study of the problem of zaman in the Kazakh worldview is aimed at comprehending the interconnection between society and time. The article considers aspects that illustrate the complexity of defining the concept of zaman, and attempts to provide a socio-philosophical interpretation of this broad phenomenon, to reveal its role in historical consciousness, and to demonstrate its interrelation with space. Key words: zaman; time; space; worldview; historical consciousness; society; era; apocalypse; qily zaman; zar zaman.
