PECULIARITIES OF THE SPIRITUAL AND LITERARY ENVIRONMENT OF THE ASHTARKHANID DYNASTY

Abstract

When asked what science, cultural and spiritual life was like in Movarounnahr during the Ashtarkhanids period, the increasing status of religious people in the country and their involvement in state affairs, the gradual progress of medieval achievements in the field of concrete sciences (handsiness, mathematics, medicine, astronomy) led to its oblivion, to the establishment of the domination of only the divine worldview in explaining the world and the development of society. This, in turn, led to religious fanaticism, nationalism, stifling of social thought and worldly progress. As a result, Movarounnahr, the cradle of science and culture, became a politically, economically and culturally helpless country during the Ashtarkhanid era.
