Features of the Turkic cultural space as a form of existence of Turkic culture

Abstract

Space, being one of the most important philosophical categories, is the main property of being, used to char-acterize its form and extent. It is customary to consider it as a form of existence of matter or a place of coexistence of things and phenomena. The Turks share a single geographical space. A common historical destiny,belonging to a single ethnic group should be considered as a unifying foundation of the Turkic space. Thecommonality of values can be traced in the features of life, everyday life, and traditions. The Turkic peoplesin the course of historical development were in the conditions of the existence of many cultures. However,this did not undermine their identity to their own cultural values. Turkic culture is characterized by wealth,originality, historical continuity. It combines samples of philosophical, cultural and literary heritage. TheTurkic cultural space should be presented as an integral system that combines many elements: cultural andhistorical events, cultural heritage objects, subjects and mechanisms of cultural interaction. If material valuesinclude monuments of ancient Turkic writing and archaeological excavations, then spiritual culture consistsof values, rites, customs, rituals, etc.
