On the issue of the nature of Mongolian people

Abstract

Needless to say, the reform of Mongolian education in the 21st century is complicated, but there are many important goals that need to be attained and can be implemented. One of those important goals is to understand the nature of the Mongolian person and identify who they are, and subsequently elaborate, implement rational policies for the development of Mongolian citizens.
The issue of the nature of the Mongolian people is an important topic to be studied in the framework of the Mongolian education development philosophy today. This theme has a broad content and the nature of the Mongolian people has been studied to a certain extent in the scientific area of anthropology, biology, educational studies, psychology, linguistics, history, demography, and sociology in our country. However, these sciences do not consider the issue of human nature holistically\comprehensively, instead they study it in individual, specific areas. But the study of human nature in philosophy covers other aspects of humanity under its umbrella.
The study of man and his nature is one of the eternal issues of philosophy. Philosophical anthropology is an area of philosophy with theory and methods that seeks to understand the nature, or essence of human beings. Human nature is the central concept of philosophical anthropology, which comprises the fundamental characteristics that make a person human, must be developed in a person, and have a decisive effect on human life. There is a lack of philosophical research sought to study the main, defining characteristics such as, which makes a Mongolian person a Mongolian, which ought to be developed in the Mongolian people, and bring a decisive impact on the lives of the Mongolian people.
Therefore, in this brief presentation we aimed to clarify the nature of the Mongolian person based on the  research of prominent philosophers Ts.Balkhaajav and N.Khavkh that studied the nature of the Mongolian person and the philosophical anthropological concepts. The concept of the nature of a Mongolian person represents a set of common characteristics that define the distinguishing qualities attributes of a Mongolian person. We put forward the idea that the common characteristics which define the nature of a Mongolian person should be the qualities of being intelligent, humane, hardworking, cultured, responsible and fair.
