Opis

The research analyzes the scientific-theoretical, ideological-philosophical and figurative-constructive aspects of rational and empirical knowledge embedded in the epic consciousness of Kyrgyz people in the context of world legends. In his research, the author proceeds from the standpoint of constructive, philosophical concepts of rational (mind) and empirical (sense), as well as anthropological values. The author reveals the degree of opposition, correlation, unity of the rational and empirical in the history of world philosophical thought, explores the factors of interrelation, differences and continuity in the worldview of eastern and western philosophers regarding the ratio of rational and empirical, and their convention. In this context, the epistemological, axiological, vital-practical, anthropological, nature-centered features of the rational and empirical in the unexplored mythological, epic, heroic, novel and social stories of the Kyrgyz people are actualized.
