This article reveals in a new way the relationship of Abay's worldview with modern philosophy, pedagogy, psychology, cultural studies, sociology, political science; from a scientific and theoretical point of view, the harmony of the poet’s works with the works of religious educators of Islam is substantiated. Along with this, the article explores the image of the prototype in new literary works about Abai, the objectivity of the description of Kazakh life in them. Abaeology is a comprehensive branch of the study of the spiritual culture of the Kazakh people, so modern Abaeology is one of the relevant topics. A set of new studies is needed to study the classical literary heritage of Abay and its traditions from the point of view of the psychology of art. The article touches on the problems of the popularity of Abay's works among the foreign Kazakh diaspora, developing a program, the scientific and methodological foundations of studying Abay's work in their schools. New directions of research in this area and contemporary topical problems of Abaystudies are determined.
