HISTORICAL CONDITIONS OF THE FORMATION OF BERUNIʻS SCIENTIFIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL VIEWS

Beruni was born in 973 in Kot, the ancient capital of Khorezm. In 995, he was forced to leave Khorezm due to conflicts and settled in Ray, Iran. Later, Beruni lived in Jurjan and mainly in Ghazna cities. As a result of Sultan Mahmudʻs expeditions to India, Beruni had the opportunity to interact directly with Indian scholars and wrote several books on Indian history, culture and science.
