VIRTUAL REALITY: UNDERSTANDING THE PERSPECTIVE

Abstract. 

The concept of “virtual reality” is undergoing a philosophical review, th categorical ambiguity of which brings forth significant difficulties of its use. The existence of cyberspace implies a virtual world filled with a bunch of documents in the information systems. The article focuses on the nonidentity problem of virtual reality and the Internet, as well as the influence of virtual reality on real life, human activity and values, thoughts and culture. In the modern world, human beings form emotional attachments to virtual objects and one of the dubious endeavours of technogenic civilization is the fact that live communication is often neglected nowadays. The advantages and disadvantages of virtualization in the education system presented by distance learning are also reviewed. In addition to verbalized traditions, there is non-verbalized, personal knowledge, transmitted directly from teacher to student and that is lost in the system of distance education. As the significant consequence of technological development, the concept of transhumanism that promotes the manipulation of human nature and his/her modernization, is being analyzed. It is concluded that the development of technology, virtualization of reality raises the issue of the nature of this phenomenon and the ways of its existence.

THE VARIETY OF DEFINITIONS TO THE CONCEPT OF “THINKING”: CLARIFICATION OR LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL VALUE?  

Trifonova Ekaterina V., Fedorova Elena P.          DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2019-5-26-39

Abstract.

The article posed the question of expanding the thesaurus of the psychological science on the example of the concept of “thinking”. The authors draw attention to the current trend: the emergence of new definitions of thinking in scientific publications, which consider specific “types” of thinking: “critical”, “standard”, “non-standard”, “imaginative thinking”, “creative”, “sanogenic”, etc. It is analyzed how frequent the concept of «thinking» is used in the research; in particular, it is indicated that about 240 different definitions used to the concept of “thinking” are recorded. We draw attention to the tendency of losing the original (initial) meaning of the term “thinking”, the loss of understanding of the essential psychological characteristics of thinking as a process of solving a problem. We also note that the emergence of new terms, “types of thinking”, which are introduced by the authors of the research for a specific problem to be solved, brings about the “erosion” of the concept of “thinking” in its original meaning.

Keywords:

thinking, non-standard thinking, standard thinking, divergent thinking, convergent thinking, imaginative thinking thinking, creative thinking, critical thinking, sanogenic thinking, categories of psychology.

FORMING THE REPRESENTATION OF ONESELF AND OF AN ORTHODOX THEOLOGIST`S IDEAL IMAGE AS A BASIS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL FORMING A FUTURE SPECIALIST 

Feldman Inessa L., Romanov Alexander A.         DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2019-5-40-47

Abstract.

This article reveals the theoretical basis of the self-concept and the Self-identity image study in psychology and emphasizes that the tendency to analyze oneself, the need to generalize and systematize knowledge about oneself, to relate one’s self-image to an ideal one as well as self-education, self-esteem are the most important characteristics for the formation of a future specialist. The article analyzes the works of foreign and domestic psychologists, such as R. Burns, W. James, V. S. Agapov, who give us various approaches to the problem of the self-concept and its structural components. The authors investigate the ideas about ‘self’ and the ideal image of an Orthodox theologian among the students majoring in the Orthodox theology. It is noted that there is very little research on the personal characteristics of the students majoring in theology, and studying the idea of oneself and the ideal image of a future theologian is not only of a theoretical interest, but it is also connected with the increasing efficiency of solving the problems with specialists` formation. The paper presents the results of an empirical study concerning the students majoring in theology from junior to senior years basing on the methods of diagnosing interpersonal relations by T. Leary. The results show us that the efficiency of the professional training and the professional development of a future theologian depends on the meaning and importance of the profession for the given person, and how the future specialist relates themselves to it. The comparative analysis of an one`s self image and an ideal image formation among the students majoring in theology generally indicate the development of subjectivity, a critical attitude toward oneself, and a desire to improve oneself.
