Different branches of the intellectual life of Central Asia and Kazakhstan, such as philosophy, art, literature, etc., were developed during the major Muslim period. The last period of the intellectual life could be characterized as a period of modern age and development of industrial society and spreading contemporary progress and enlightenment ideas. The most important periods of intellectual life development of Central Asia and Kazakhstan can be analysed on the basis of definite pieces of work which give concepts of spiritual life during different periods.
