CONCEPTUAL CONTENT OF THE AZERBAIJANI MUGAM-DASTGAH AS METHODOLOGICAL BASIS FOR COMPARATIVE RESEARCH INTO THE TRADITIONAL ORIENTAL CULTURE

Abstract

The occurrence of a worldview principle assumes the awareness of motives that predetermine
its formation. In the meantime, it is the grasp of semantic invariant that becomes «a stumbling
block» due to the detachment from cognition criteria in the early period arising from cause-effectunrelated spiritual thinking.
Giving impetus to the awareness of universal origins is the comprehension of conceptual substance of the uniform system as indispensable condition for focusing on the multilateral development of the traditional oriental music which is currently represented by national cultures.
