Philosophical-historical and Ideological Problems of Northern Azerbaijan Turkishness

Abstract

The article examines the contradictions in Azerbaijani Turkish philosophical thought in the last centuries, the obyective and non-obyective factors in the history of philosophical thought. The author shows that during the 150-year period when the Northern part of Azerbaijan was occupied by Tsarist Russia, serious problems occurred in philosophy and history of philosophy, as in all fields. Thus, as a result of the Russification policies of Tsarist and Soviet Russia, they sought to form philosophical thinking away from the Turkish core, and the Turkish-Islamic world view was gradually eliminated. Russian ideologists supported the Euro-Russian thought against the Turkish-Islamic world and tried to put forward the social thought of the people of Northern Azerbaijan on this basis. According to the author, as a result of almost two centuries of Russian ideology, significant problems arose in the thinking of the Azerbaijan Turks. In particular, the Russian ideologues tried to assimilate the Azerbaijani Turks, who were in fact a great history, philosophy, culture and statism motherhood, by introducing a new “nation” away from the Turkish core and the philosophy, history and culture of that nation. Turkish philosophy and the history of philosophical thought in Azerbaijan were formed or written under these conditions.
