The Philosophy of Karakalpak Folk Riddles

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This thesis explores the philosophical aspects embedded in Karakalpak folk riddles, examining how everyday objects, natural phenomena, and human experiences are metaphorically represented to convey deeper meanings. By analyzing various riddles, the study highlights the symbolic use of familiar objects such as the sky, sun, moon, stars, and human life stages, illustrating how they reflect the Karakalpak people's worldview, cultural values, and way of life. The riddles serve as a medium for expressing complex thoughts about nature, human intellect, and the passage of time, encapsulating the folk's observational insights in a poetic and metaphorical form.
