Abstract

This article explores the historical and cultural commonalities between Kazakhs and Kyrgyz, examining the phenomenon of their prolonged mutual influence within the framework of a unified nomadic civilization. The study aims to conduct an in-depth theoretical analysis of the shared civilizational roots of these peoples, their socio-cultural evolution, and, consequently, to explore the internal dialectics of nomadic civilization.
The research synthesizes comparative-historical and civilizational methods to analyze the cultural and social archetypes of the two ethnic groups and their transformative dynamics. Particular attention is paid to the existential adaptation of Kazakhs and Kyrgyz to the natural and geographical environment, the invariance of economic structures, and the sacred significance of clan-tribal organization. In parallel, the epistemological and axiological aspects of their worldviews, the metaphysical foundations of beliefs, and the interconnection of symbolic content are revealed.
The article proposes a rethinking of the epistemological status of nomadic civilization in the context of universal philosophical paradigms. In this context, the task is to identify the common foundations of cultural interaction and their existential experiences, as well as to understand the conceptual-ontological constructs that have played a decisive role in the formation of historical consciousness and national identity.
The research results have revealed the correspondence of the cultural and civilizational roots of Kazakhs and Kyrgyz and their influence on the current national and state consciousness in the context of globalization. This analysis indicates the need to consider the features of nomadic civilization not only within the framework of ethno-historical studies but also as an integral part of the multifaceted system of world civilization.
