Reflections on modern training in philosophy

Shelkovnikov A. Yu.

The results of this study are revealed in the recommendation of the particular books in a certain sequence. The novelty of this approach is the author`s philosophical and methodological grounds, representing the reconstruction of the philosophical systems of W. Wundt and G. I. Chelpanov.

Skepticism as a worldview neutrality in the teaching of social-humanitarian disciplines

Gusev D. A.

The article deals with the philosophical problem of the responsibility of a teacher of social-humanitarian disciplines and substantiates the position, according to which the ability to minimize any conceptual loss, preferences and shifts in teacher’s professional activity is possible on the condition that he is ideologically skeptical. The novelty of the author’s position is the assertion that skepticism is, contrary to the common knowledge, not the negation and overthrow of all truths, but only – ideological neutrality, which allows a more adequate and tolerant to present students with a colourful palette of various ideological platforms in the form of competing scientific theories, philosophical concepts, religious beliefs and attitudes of ordinary consciousness, thereby giving them the possibility of genuinely free and reasoned personal ideological choice.

Platonism in Shakespeare

Florova V. S.

The Renaissance era saw the consistent revival of both Platonism and neo-Platonism. What became the most characteristic of the new era was reading Plato’s philosophy as, above all, a philosophy of love. The Renaissance culture made Plato’s Eros a principle linking the realm with divine and transcendental, giving it a Humanist interpretation. At least partially, this idea was derived from the pre-Renaissance culture of Medieval courtly love with its worship of the lady and emphasis upon the ‘God is love’ dogma. As a result, theory of Renaissance neo-Platonism is observable not only in works of philosophy, but in poetry as well – from the Italian poets of dolce stil novo to the English poets of Elizabethan era, such as Sidney, Spencer and Shakespeare. However, it is in Shakespeare’s works exactly that Platonism underwent a crucial transformation. The aesthetic system of the Sonnets became centred, rather than a static archetype or a transcendent idea of beauty, on a real and imperfect person. The function of the Fair Friend is set not as much by his representing the Platonic triunity of ‘truth, goodness and beauty’ as by the fact that, in Shakespeare’s world, the Platonic triunity is basically nonexistent outside the living ‘substance’ of the Friend. If Renaissance science was gradually shifting the centre of the universe from Earth to Sun, the anthropocentric view had finally established the centre of the spiritual universe in an individual’s mind. It is there that truth, goodness and beauty are rooted. Thus the basis of Shakespeare’s philosophy is not the Platonic ascent to the realm of ideas, but rather a descent into the self – a kind of Medieval confession. However, a confession is only made such by the presence of somebody authorized to hear it. This supreme authority is represented by the Fair Friend. The whole realm of transcendent is revealed to Shakespeare in the beloved one. The empyreal idea of Plato’s becomes – finally and irreversibly – an earthly human. Without this human-being nothing is possible: either harmony, or truth, or system, or the world itself. Without him everything disintegrates, and Time itself is ‘out of joint’.
