THE IMPACT OF CROSS-CULTURE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE IN CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of cross-cultural factors on the development of science in Central Asia. The study examines the interrelationship between culture, enlightenment, and socio-economic conditions through the educational and philosophical views of Abdulla Avloni. In particular, his ideas expressed in the work “Waves of Culture” are analyzed to reveal the dialectical connection between a society’s material well-being and its cultural development. According to Avloni, when the economic condition of a society is weak, the development of enlightenment and culture also declines, as people are primarily focused on satisfying basic survival needs. From this perspective, the article argues that the development of science is influenced not only by economic factors but also by cultural values, spiritual maturity, and the level of social consciousness. The findings indicate that the historical and cultural development of science in Central Asia has been shaped by complex cross-cultural interactions. The study also highlights the role of enlightenment as a key factor in shaping human thinking and ensuring social progress.
