Abstract:
The article analyzes the historical and cultural phenomenon of the Great Silk Road in the context of actual
problems of Kazakhstan’s spiritual modernization. The traditions of interaction and dialogue of cultures on
the Great Silk road are considered as factors of modern civilization development. It is proposed to use the
spiritual experience of various cultures that Kazakhstan has accumulated to overcome political and religious
confrontation and achieve peace and harmony among peoples. It is noted that the Great Silk road is a vivid
example, which must be used to form the mutual relations of peoples in the modern world on the basis of dialogue
but not the opposition of cultures.
