In a world where information overload is a common occurrence, the philosophy of Kazakh poet and thinker Abai is gaining renewed attention. This resurgence was particularly evident during the celebrations marking Abai's 180th birthday, with events taking place across the country.

At the heart of these celebrations is not the spectacle of the events themselves, but rather the reflection of Abai's philosophy in the actions of individuals. Zhandos Aubakir, the director of the Abai Academy Institute at ENU, emphasizes the relevance of Abai's philosophy in the 21st century. Aubakir states that it is not just about contemplating good and evil, but also about practical morality.

Abai's texts are known for their conciseness and precision, helping us to identify what is truly important. His practical morality includes values such as hard work, honesty, and inner balance. He encourages us not to be lazy, not to be envious, and to strive for knowledge.

Zhandos Magzhebekuly, a Kazakh entrepreneur and developer based in Almaty, adds that Abai's philosophy does not require pomp. Instead, it calls for honesty, specifically with oneself. Magzhebekuly believes that Abai's philosophy can help us to adjust our inner compass, guiding us towards a more balanced and ethical way of life.

The celebrations have included various events, lectures, and plays, all aimed at exploring and promoting Abai's philosophy. According to a report by a website, these events have provided a platform for discussion and reflection, encouraging people to consider how Abai's principles can be applied in their daily lives.

In a world where honesty with oneself is increasingly important, Abai's emphasis on this value makes his philosophy needed again. His philosophy offers a practical guide for living a moral life, emphasising the importance of hard work, honesty, and inner balance. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the 21st century, the wisdom of Abai may provide a valuable compass for many.
