Kazakh philosophy, being ethics, aesthetics and at the same time metaphysics, fulfills a great mission: to be a teaching about a beautiful and righteous life. Expressing the spirit of Kazakh culture, Abai Kunanbayev creates at the same time a new value paradigm that determined the life and fate of his native people. The brilliant thinker connects the transformed East and the rethought West, a thinking heart and a conscientious mind under the leadership of Faith. From these positions, he reveals the essence of the philosophy of the “whole person”: overcoming ignorance, laziness, greed, envy, mastering knowledge, understanding work as a condition of full life, developing the ability to think, do good and contemplate beauty. This is the path of the Kazakh people into the space of world history, where they will become an example for other peoples in comprehending the spiritual meanings of life and affirming high moral values.
