Mahira Naghigizi Phenomenon and Her World’s Philosophy
Abstract
This study discusses the Mahira Naghigizi phenomenon – a prominent representative of 21st-century national literary and artistic thought, a talented poet, and a devoted educator whose contributions have been significant in developing and enriching our science and literature. It is emphasized that Mahira Naghigizi’s world, which resembles a shining star and perhaps reflects our national identity, essence, and selfhood in every one of her works, inspires readers with pride and honor. She is regarded as an extraordinary figure gifted to Azerbaijan – an irreplaceable scholar, poet, educator, and a teacher of teachers – who plays an invaluable role in instilling national and spiritual values in the younger generation and in shaping the overall history of national thought. In mathematical terms, the “Mahira Naghigizi’s world” encompasses all the domains that fall within the subset of philosophy. Her written works such as “Missiya” (Mission), “Ulu öndərimizin natiqlik məharəti” (Our National Leader’s Oratory Skills), “Heydər Əliyev və Azərbaycan dilinin inkişaf strategiyası” (Heydar Aliyev and the Strategy for the Development of the Azerbaijani Language), “Dərdi dərin Həsən Mirzə” (Hasan Mirza’s Deep Sorrow), “Alim təfəkkürünün itiliyi” (The Sharpness of a Scholar’s Mind), “Üslubi morfologiya” “Stylistic Morphology”, “Stylistic Syntax of Ashug and Folk Poets”, “Poetics of Ashug and Folk Poets”, “Lexicon of Ashug and Folk Poets”, and other academic writings—as well as her literary works like “My Mother”, “Mother, Pour Water After Me”, “My Mother Will Keep Me Alive”, “My World with Mother”, “Bayatis and Three Poems”, “Her Stone Tale”, “If the Cradle Is for Your Soul, Know That It’s the Homeland”, “Our Language Is Our Identity”, “Greetings”, and – along with her original bayatis (a form of Azerbaijani folk poetry), each stand as a school of life and a lesson in humanity in their own right. Her poem “My Mother Tongue” is considered the blood memory that reflects our nation’s rich culture, roots, ancestry, spiritual world – in short, the very essence and identity of the people. Rooted deeply in patriotism and national-spiritual values, the philosophy behind these lessons is profound.
