Read the passage: "Technical progress, which has embraced the entire system of domination and coordination, creates forms of life (and authorities) that seem to reconcile the forces opposing the system, but in fact sweep away or deprive the soil of all protest in the name of the historical perspective of freedom from toil and domination. It is obvious that modern society has the ability to restrain qualitative social changes, as a result of which essentially new institutions, a new direction of the production process and new forms of human existence could be established. This ability is probably the greatest achievement of advanced industrial society; the general approval of the National Purpose, the bipartisan politics, the decline of pluralism, the collusion between Business and Labor within the framework of a strong State testify to the fusion of opposites, which is both the result and the prerequisite of this achievement" (Herbert Marcuse, One-Dimensional Man)

The deeper the human thought penetrates into various spheres of reality, the more complex and inexhaustible it becomes, the subject of its research. Over the past centuries, scientific discoveries have more than once forced a resolute revision of the prevailing ideas about man and his place in the world. So in the 16th century, Copernicus refuted the Ptolemaic system, showing that the Earth and man on it are not the center of the universe, but only one of its parts, connected with all the others and dependent on them. In the 19th century, Darwin discovered biological evolution, showing that man on Earth is not a divine creation, but the result of the probabilistic processes of 'natural selection.' Karl Marx discovered the socio-economic conditionality of consciousness and cognition, showing that man is neither the absolute center of social structures, nor the starting principle of their explanation, that this principle lies outside of human consciousness, in the socio-economic relations of a given historical epoch. This process of gradual 'decentration' of a person in the world, that is, the process of gradually deepening into the cognizable world and discovering ever new patterns in it, at first affected mainly the field of natural science knowledge.

Modern societies begin to take shape in Western Europe during the Renaissance, complete their integral design in the New Age (in the 17th - 18th centuries), and in some countries, for example, in Germany, in the 19th century. Eastern cultures for a long time remained local, closed, traditional. In the XIX - XX centuries, they also began the processes of modernization under the influence of Western culture. These processes are complex, contradictory and uneven in different regions of the world. There are three main options in which modernization takes place in the modern world. A symbiosis in which a relatively independent coexistence of tradition and modernity is maintained in various areas of social activity. This leads to the emergence of enclaves of modern life, surrounded on all sides by a sea of tradition. Some elements of society are developing dynamically and are quite comparable with the world level, others are lagging behind in their development and contain archaic features.

Science has undergone the study of the essence, origins, content, cultural and historical stages of development of Kazakh culture. New historical names and previously unknown or little-known empirical materials were introduced into the scientific circulation and discourse of Kazakh culture, updated research methods were applied.

The relationship between nature and culture depends primarily on culture, on its nature and characteristics, which in turn are largely due to the uniqueness of religion. Thus, there are significant differences between Western culture based on Christianity and Eastern culture based on Islam and other Eastern religions. According to the concept of C. Jung, an oriental person is an introvert, his consciousness is directed inward, he seeks salvation in himself, in the improvement of his spirituality. A Muslim does not look at nature as a "profane" thing, i.e. for that. that can be appropriated, subjugated and even more so destroyed.

From the point of view of the problems of regional integration, awareness and understanding of their place in the world, the study of the Turkic cultural school as a historical form of self-consciousness of the Turkic peoples seems to be a promising direction not only for modern science in Kazakhstan, but for the entire complex of socio-humanitarian sciences. Kazakh studies substantiate the independent status of Turkic philosophy, its influence on Kazakh philosophy, analyze the philosophical views of its representatives who were previously under the pressure of an ideological ban, reveal a complex panorama of the contradictory cultural, historical and socio-political development of the philosophical ideas of the Turkic world. Studies of Kazakh philosophy are included in the complex of research programs, conferences, projects of Turkic-speaking countries, actively exploring the Turkic roots of leadership skills. At present, all Turkic countries and peoples are being integrated in search of the roots of national identity.
