Abstract

The article explores the continuity and resonance of the ideas of medieval Turkic thinkers regarding the human being, their spiritual essence, value orientations, and relationship with the surrounding world. Human nature, its ontological and ethical aspects, as well as the pursuit of truth and harmony, have remained central questions of philosophy for centuries. In this context, the philosophical traditions of the Turkic world, from Korkyt to Muhammad Haidar Dulati, represent a significant intellectual heritage that reflects the evolution of perspectives on the place of humans in existence. Korkyt's philosophy serves as a landmark example of spiritual inquiry aimed at understanding the meaning of life, the relationship between the eternal and the transient, truth and illusion. His reflections address not only ethical and anthropological aspects but also profound ontological and metaphysical questions of being. In turn, Al-Farabi formulates the concept of an ideal society based on harmony and cooperation, likening it to a healthy organism where each element functions for the benefit of the whole. According to his teachings, attaining happiness is possible through intellectual and moral self-improvement, allowing a person to transcend the limitations of temporal existence. Al-Farabi's ideas resonate in the works of Yusuf Balasaghuni, Mahmud al-Kashgari, Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, and Muhammad Haidar Dulati. Their philosophical and poetic writings explore issues of human existence, social justice, spiritual self-perfection, and the pursuit of ultimate truth. These thinkers lay the foundation for the humanistic tradition of Turkic philosophy, which remains relevant in the modern world. The study of their works not only traces the evolution of Turkic philosophical thought but also reveals the broader patterns of philosophical development in a global context.
