Cultural And Cognitive Phenomenon In Kazakh Fairy Tales: A Reflexive Essence

Summary/Abstract: This study evaluates the characteristics of Kazakh fairy tales as a cultural phenomenon from a scientific perspective. Fairy tales are important in determining the worldview of the Kazakh people and recognizing their conceptual orientation. The Kazakh worldview as a linguistic picture of the world in Kazakh fairy tales has been studied according to the theory of reflection. In the 21st century, the global importance of quality education and training has increased significantly. Future generations’ ability to find their place in society depends on their level of education, competence and cognition. In the article, in accordance with the principles of reflection, the role of fairy tales in instilling positive qualities in a child - from an early age - is analyzed. Another important concept is the “self” of the individual. The ways in which fairy tales provide knowledge, creativity, application of established skills, social reflection, the ability of an intellectual individual to think about the meaning of life and existentialism are reviewed with specific examples. In this study, the image of Kazakh fairy tales as a cognitive and cultural phenomenon was tried to be determined cognitively. At the basis of the study of the linguistic image of the world are philosophical problems that examine the general problems of the image of the world. In world science, this concept was put forward by M. Heidegger. It is the meaning of the word “image (picture, video)” regarding the image of something that first comes to our mind. But the meaning of the concept of “world image” is deep and comprehensive. Where the world becomes a picture, general entities are seen as things that man aims at and therefore wants to present to himself, things that he opposes and literally wants to present to himself.
