PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF MYTHMAKING IN THE REPRESENTATION OF KAZAKH STATEHOOD
View through CrossRef
This article explores the philosophical foundations of myth-making, not only as a key mechanism for representing Kazakh statehood but also as an essential factor in shaping national consciousness, legitimizing power, and constructing historical narratives that reflect the evolution of political and cultural identity. By analyzing mythological images, symbolic structures, and their interpretations within the discourse on Kazakh statehood, the study examines how myths function as tools of social construction, integrating historical memory and cultural continuity while simultaneously adapting to modernization processes and generating new forms of national myth-making. Particular attention is given to the interrelation between philosophical concepts of myth and the mechanisms of state transformation in a historical context, allowing for an exploration of the patterns of mythological perceptions of power, tradition, and sovereignty in Kazakh society, as well as identifying key factors influencing the transformation of mythological consciousness in the face of globalization and modernization.Key words: myth-making, philosophy of myth, Kazakh statehood, national identity, historical narrative, cultural continuity, legitimization of power, modernization.
