description The study is devoted to the study of the reflection of Hegel’s philosophical ideas about the “absolute spirit” and the “absolute idea” in Turkic philosophy, and, as a consequence, in the literature of Kazakhstan in the 21st century. The work demonstrates how Hegel’s teaching, having come to the soil of spiritually oriented Kazakh philosophy, overcoming Hegelian reductionism in the person of the classics of Kazakh national literature (Abai, Makhshur Kopeyev and Magzhan Zhumabayev), turned into the theory of the Absolute, which consolidates the unity and interconnection of each element of reality - from global historical events to personal collisions. An analysis of the reflection of Hegel’s ideas in post-Soviet Kazakhstani prose is carried out using the material of intellectual novels by two translingual writers: Khasen Adibayev “Constellations of Twins” and Dyusenbek Nakipov “Circle of Ashes”. The sources of these works and their main distinctive features, allowing them to be classified as intellectual prose, are revealed. The author’s interpretation of the “work” of the theory of the interconnection of all things in the creative laboratory of these translingual writers is offered. It is shown how Hegel’s ideas, refracted through Adibaev’s perception, were realized in his theory of the Absolute law, which became the event axis of the novel. Understanding the law within the framework of the history of human civilization allows this writer to put at the forefront a person Thinking and seeing the interconnections, interdependence of the past, present and alternative present. It was also analyzed how Nakipov “works” with the Absolute law (Eternal Absolute), opposing the “religion of revenge” to the “religion of love”, dictating the fulfillment of this law through a Loving person. According to Adibaev, the law of the Absolute is fulfilled hourly in the history of mankind, according to Nakipov this law comes into effect only when it must be preserved.
