The aim of the study was to identify the directions and patterns of transformation of sacred categories within Mircea Eliade’s hermeneutical system under the conditions of the globalised and digital culture of the twenty-first century. The research was theoretical-analytical and used systemic, content analytical, phenomenological, and comparative-hermeneutical approaches. The analysis covered a corpus of Mircea Eliade’s key works, as well as interpretations by scholars Bryan S. Rennie and Douglas Allen. The results of content analysis showed a significant prevalence of certain categories: symbol (≈150 occurrences), sacrum/profanum (≈120), and myth (≈110), among others. The comparative-analytical stage revealed dynamic transformations within Eliade’s categorical system, including changes in the significance of sacrum/profanum, symbol, and archetype, reflecting the adaptation of sacred categories in a globalised and digital context. The categories myth and repetition retained stability (8 and 7 points respectively), demonstrating the resilience of the mythological and ritual contours of sacred experience. The obtained data indicate a transition from a vertically hierarchical model of sacred consciousness to a network structure in which the sacred is realised through digital media, visual symbols, and communicative spaces. It was established that archetypal forms – axis mundi, light, centre, circle – are integrated into digital architecture and the visual codes of mass culture, performing their former functions of sacred mediation. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying its results to the analysis of symbolic systems in digital media, architecture, and visual communication, as well as in the development of interdisciplinary models for studying sacred semiotics in a global cultural context.

The unity of man and nature is associated in many philosophical currents with different levels of world unity. This is especially true of al-Farabi's concept of the world under the moon. Although ontological problems are posed at a high level in the concepts of space and time in modern philosophy and classical physics, they become functions of infinity, which are absolutely separate from man. Of course, there is a mutual creative activity and inseparable unity of man and the world, which should not come as a surprise after the concepts of "light world" and the twin of man and the world in Kazakh culture. Here we can talk about the correctness and falsity of the world around the ancient man of the East, about the "maya" of his world, but the path to man - the real Tao - becomes clear from the moon, and the external being - the landscape in motion. only. It is possible to say that cognition in these cultures is whole, specially reflected; it does not divide the world into parts, it does not study it in detail, it does not lose the "colors" of the world, it is not rationalized; where attempts to blindly conquer nature are irrational, and so on.

The problem of the spiritual and moral components of personality holds key significance in the genesis, evolution, and development of the national consciousness of the Kazakh people. In the contemporary era of globalization, moral imperatives grounded in the values of traditional culture ensure stability in identification amidst interactions with other nations. Within the Turkic Kazakh philosophical, ethnological, and anthropological traditions, personality was conceived in harmonious interaction with natural rhythms, as an element of the cosmic universe. The objectives of this research are to identify the patterns of evolution of notions about personality in traditional and contemporary Turkic-Kazakh philosophy and culture, as well as to determine methods for preserving, developing, and safeguarding spiritual and moral values within Kazakh national consciousness. The methodological foundation for studying the processes of genesis and evolution of the concept of personality is the social constructivism of Gellner and Smith. The interpretation of the ideological content of epic literature and philosophical works is conducted based on hermeneutic methods. This article explores the processes of forming the concept of personality in Kazakh national consciousness within the spiritual and moral dimensions. The main stages of evolution identified include the periods of proto-states, the presence of the Kazakh ethnicity within the Russian Empire – the Soviet Union, and independent development. The establishment of contemporary multiethnic Kazakhstan requires the protection of the foundations of national consciousness from negative external influences. The homogenizing and standardizing influence of global mass media threatens the traditional worldview of Kazakhs, raised in harmony with the surrounding world. The stability of Kazakh national consciousness is based on the concept of personality, wherein traditional values and modern perceptions of the surrounding world, society, and state are harmoniously combined. The obtained results can be utilized in formulating programs for the operation of governmental bodies, political parties, and social associations, in academic and teaching activities, and in facilitating publications in mass media.
