Abstract
The article examines the axiological problems of modern Kazakh poetry, such as national existence, national spirit, national consciousness. National, universal axiological virtues are one of the topical themes of eternity. Literature, considered the pearl of art, is a phenomenon that promotes and extols this value. Poetry, considered the essence of noble words, is one of the phenomena that serve to promote the axiological benefits mentioned above. Poetry is a moral word, an ethical word that glorifies universal, national education and transmits the value of virtue to future generations. The role and mission of Kazakh poetry in society, based on the principle of axiological criteria, is special. Indeed, Kazakh poetry is completely intertwined with the phenomenon of national values, worldview, feeds on a noble channel and is a harbinger of the national spirit. Because the centuries–old national poetry is a phenomenon of values that serves the benefit of Kazakh society. In the second half of the last century, innovative changes in the literary process gave a new impetus, a new breath to the praise of the art of speech, and raised the quality of noble words to a higher level. Like other genres of literature, the genre of poetry has improved theoretically, poetically, stylistically, artistically, ideologically, thematically, meaningfully, qualitatively, didactically, and practically. One of the thematic innovations is that the works based on the national values of the Kazakh people contributed to the enrichment of the genre of poetry. This article examines the axiological, didactic mission of the poetic word, the representatives of poetry – a spiritual tool that serves the humanization of society. The poems, embodying national identity, national value, trace the historical, socio-social activities of the Kazakh people in awakening their being, spirit, consciousness. The poems reflecting the national mentality in the literary process are selected, and their axiological aspects that promote and glorify national values in a national context are analyzed.
