Abstract

The author conducts a comparative analysis of the policy of "multiculturalism" in Western Europe and the Republic of Kazakhstan, explaining why this policy is inhibited in Europe, while in Kazakhstan this policy is being successfully pursued. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, among which the author points to the historical roots of the tolerance of the Eurasian peoples who have experienced a common destiny, as well as the policy of “ethnic and confessional tolerance”, which is based on the philosophy of non-violence. The author shows the origins of the philosophy of "non-violence", its historical forms of manifestation and the peculiarity of the practical development of the philosophy of "non-violence" in Kazakhstan. The practical implementation of the philosophy of "non-violence" is carried out thanks to the program documents of N. Nazarbayev.
