Abstract
This article provides a philosophical analysis of the ontological nature of subjective experience. Drawing upon ontology, phenomenology, and epistemology, it offers a new interpretation of such phenomena as subjective consciousness, inner reality, spiritual experience, and the human "inner world." Concepts such as inner harmony and intuitive perception of the world, which are central to Kyrgyz philosophy, are compared with the ideas of Western philosophers including J.-P. Sartre, M. Heidegger, M. H. Bergson, and others. The main objective of the article is to comprehensively explore the philosophical content of subjective experience and justify it as an ontological reality. The philosophical significance of subjectivity and its role in the formation of both individual and collective identity is examined. The phenomenon of subjectivity is considered within epistemological, ontological, and cultural contexts, highlighting the specific features of Kyrgyz philosophy. Through theoretical and comparative methods, the study explores how memory, emotional, and social aspects influence individual consciousness and collective identity. The scientific novelty of the study lies in offering a new perspective on the problem of subjectivity through a synthesis of Kyrgyz philosophical thought and global theoretical approaches.
