Cognitive Aspects in the Work of K.A. Yasawi

Abstract

The article analyzes the activities and worldview of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, the founder of the Sufi Turkic branch of Islam. Written testimonies are given about the identity and activities of H. A. Yassawi, who characterizes him as one of the founders of Turkic culture. Based on the analysis of his work «Diwani Hikmet», his work as the founder of Sufism is considered, which has such important aspects as the nature of his religious and philosophical worldview, his adaptation of Islam to the Turkic environment, the unification of Turkic-speaking peoples into a single cultural and political community, the creation of the path of yasawi Sarah, raising the status of the Turkic language, familiarization with Eastern philosophy and poetry through wisdom.

The most important thing was to give a lexical-phraseological, morphological, archaeological description of yasawi’s manuscript, thereby contributing to the theory of the participation and development of the Turkic written literary language. One of the most important works is a linguistic and cognitive analysis of research on the language of yassawi wisdom. It is undeniable that the linguistic overtones of Yassawi’s works allow for a complete and comprehensive analysis. Culture - a certain stage in the historical development of society, human creative forces and human abilities, reflects the level, form and type of Organization of human life and activities, the degree of spiritual and material benefits created by human beings. The spirit and appearance of humanity, its free will and historical attention, symbols, symbol systems, irreparable losses and precepts, life lessons, religion and language are all intertwined with culture. Therefore, the consideration of language and culture, including the worldview of a person, opens up many prerequisites. A textual study of the work of Ahmet Yasawi makes it possible to identify the popularity, general significance and relevance of all Turkic peoples and their features in different historical eras. This tradition has been revived in recent decades. In recent years, the philosophical and mystical direction in the study of Yasawi’s life and work has been of particular interest. One of these Sufi texts – Khoja Ahmed Yasawi’s «Diwani Hikmet»- requires a cognitive, linguistic study due to the specifics of its nature.
