Abstract. The article reveals philosophical aspects of the epos "Ural Batyr", which is a source for the research of worldview and world perception of the Bashkir people. On the basis of studying the epos the paper deals with the aspects of Wisdom, the ancient analogues of the categorical imperative of the Bashkirs, and also reveals general features of moral-ethical norms inherent in most epic legends of the world. The author presupposes existence of Universal Knowledge that is passed through the lenses of national specifics by myths or eposes. Philosophical analysis of origins of good and evil by the example of the epos "Ural Batyr" allows us to speak about national features in philosophy.
