Abstract

Compositions of Mongolian scientist-lamas of XVII-XX centuries are actual analytical works of thinkers considering world history through a prism of development of their country and all the Inner Asia. The whole life of a nomadic society in a statement of these authors, like the western public life in a statement of the western thinkers, appears in religious-secular light, rich on events.
