Abstract

The article provides a thorough analysis of A. Margulan's ideas on Korkyt and kobyz, which have been extensively studied in Kazakh folklore. It is known that seven chapters of the scientist's book “Ежелгі жыр, аңыздар” [Ancient Epics and Legends] are dedicated to Korkyt, which include ancient words and legends about him, as well as the opinions of medieval scholars. Additionally, the article discusses the reflections of Korkyt's legends preserved in Kazakh folklore, his struggle with death, and the Korkyt tradition in folk music. The author of the article re-examines A. Margulan's ideas on a hermeneutic basis and analyzes their conformity with the requirements of modern scientific thought. The article addresses various questions, such as the number of Korkyts in history, his lineage (whether he was of Oguz, Kypchak or Arab descent), the existence of a tradition passed down since the time of Korkyt, whether the legends can be considered as historical sources, whether Korkyt lived in Zhankent, whether he struggled with death, the meaning of the word "Korkyt," and whether he played the kopuz or dombra. The author presents analyses of each of these questions in the article. Additionally, the article addresses the methodological errors made by later researchers who rely solely on the information provided in A. Margulan's writings. Based on this, the article concludes that scientific knowledge should rely on absolute truth, rather than on the personal reputation of individual scientists.
