    V. Yu. Suсhachev: The philosopher’s will

    No full text
    This article is about the remarkable philosopher of St Petersburg of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, V. Yu. Sukhachev. The path of his progress, and factors of formation and circumstances of his original thought are presented. He was one of the organizers of the Nietzsche Seminar, which was an important event in the philosophical life of St Petersburg. He was a talented teacher, because he did not teach anything intentionally. With his lectures and speeches, he presented the image of a radically modern thinker, who skillfully navigated the entire history of philosophical thought. The stoic asceticism of the philosopher, including abstinence from vanity, was natural for him. The initiation and the result of his reflections was this thesis: a philosopher should stand on his own. One should know well the history of philosophy, its concepts, the logic of the development of its ideas and, of course, if possible, to read them in the original. But one’s own grounds in philosophy are not based only on concepts of heritage, but also on practically accumulated personal potential of resistance and the trained critical ability of the mind. The article analyzes the cornerstone of Vyacheslav Sukhachev’s philosophical position, his polemical theses and provocations, and his advance and contribution to the history of the St Petersburg/Leningrad school of philosophy. The basis of philosophical thinking for him is the will, which manifests itself, ncluding in the traditional “self-care”. Will is what makes it possible to take a place in the world, and what makes it possible to be free. Will allows one to establish a sovereign position and outline the limits of existence, to protect them rigidly and prevent others from invading his world. He insists and promotes the idea that neither the historical situation nor the biographical context have their own philosophical value.The article was written as part of a research project supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research no. 20-011-00144-a “Theoretical Heritage of Philosophy in Leningrad-Petersburg.

    Personality psychology and anthropological discourse: In search of new approaches

    No full text
    Modern anthropology is a cycle of disciplines that study a person in culture and are devoted to various aspects of human existence. At the same time, in international discourse, anthropology is most often understood today as sociocultural anthropologies. However, due to historical and political reasons, neither social, nor cultural, nor psychological anthropology appeared in Russia in the 20th century as institutionalized research directions, and the study of variations in personality development in a variety of cultures took place not so much in psychology as it was scattered in the interdisciplinary space of socio-humanitarian sciences. Today, this situation has not only repeatedly reflected disadvantages, but also less obvious advantages. Spontaneous transdisciplinarity is becoming an important resource in the social sciences, including psychology. Interacting research fields produce mixed methods and methodologies; cognitive focuses are shifting from traditional subjects of study to mobile research projects; from subject-oriented to problem-oriented research. Personality psychology, sociology of changes, anthropology of our time are included in the intellectual movement, comprehending the issues of how to study a person in a transitive society; how to investigate a personality in change; how to comprehend individuality in the transformations of everyday life, identity in the transformations of the global world. At the same time, responding to current challenges by searching for new approaches and methodologies, psychology, sociology and anthropology are collectively participating in the transformation of the model of cognition. It is suggested that in the current cognitive situation, anthropological discourse can serve as a source of renewal and critical rethinking of psychological concepts, a space of possibilities in the development of personality psychology. Materials are presented that confirms this assumption.The study was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, project no. 20-013-00075, “Man in everyday life: psychological phenomenology and patterns”

    Lost possible selves as the presence of the past in the present

    No full text
    Lost possible selves are a relatively new concept developed within the framework of the Possible Selves proposed by H. Markus and P. Nurius. Lost possible selves were studied in young adults aged 20 to 42 (N = 59). The purpose was to clarify the content of the concept of “Lost Possible Selves”, as well as to describe the forms of their representation in connection with cognitive strategies for constructing identity. We used the method based on the methodology of K. Hooker, the questionnaire of identity styles by M. Berzonsky (ISI-5), the methodology for assessing five-year intervals by A. A. Kronik, E. I. Golovakha. Lost possible selves were conventional in nature and concerned with the main tasks of early adulthood: primarily the areas of career, relationships and education. Lost selves were neutral or pessimistic in tone, descriptive, and less often narrative. Three types of temporal orientation of lost possible selves have been identified: with a focus on the present; focus on returning to the “good” past or changing the “bad” past; timeless orientation. The frequency of appealing to the lost self is related neither to the ability for its realization nor to the probability of its realization, but it is connected with the emotional attitude (regret, difficulty of refusal, importance). The neutral tone of the story about the lost self was associated with the normative identity construction style: the more the respondents adhered to socially desirable norms, family traditions, the more neutrally they described the lost possible selves. People with a normative style of identity construction and people who feel their past is less saturated were more confident that in the future they could realize the lost self. The ability to realize the lost self, therefore, has the largest number of relationships compared to its other characteristics.The study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation grant no. 22-28-00871

    Influence of personal characteristics of talents on voluntary dismissal: The case of Sheremetyevo international airport.

    No full text
    The article discusses the use of personal characteristics of talented employees in assessing the likelihood of their voluntary turnover. Despite a growing number of publications on talent management issues, most of the works focus on studying institutional conditions or corporate management practices. At the same time, a scant attention is paid to the peculiarities of talented employees’ labor behavior, including a critical problem for organizations in talent management — voluntary turnover. The paper aims to investigate the influence of the personal characteristics of talented employees on their decision to resign voluntarily. The theoretical part of the work is based on the model of an objective view on understanding qualified employees as those who have a particular set of characteristics that can determine their behavior regardless of the organizational context. In addition to the main socio-demographic and professional aspects of talents, the work uses non-cognitive personality parameters described by the “Big Five” model. The empirical part of the study is based on the data from a survey of 180 employees which was included in the talent management program of Sheremetyevo Airport. The results confirmed the influence of socio-demographic and non-cognitive characteristics on the likelihood of talented employees’ voluntary turnover. Also, some of the parameters, in contrast to the previous studies, have the opposite effect, and talent management programs do not retain talented employees. Despite its novelty, the conclusions of the work are limited because the empirical data was obtained from one though a heterogeneous company by its labor characteristics and the research was conducted during the crisis of 2020. The extension of the sample along with the set of non-cognitive traits can serve as a direction for further studies

    The Stanjevići Monastery as a Source of Russian Influence in Montenegro

    The connections between Montenegro and Brda and Russia go back to the second half of the 16th century. During the reign of Ivan IV (1533–1584), the monk Theodore and the dukes from Piper, Drobnyak, and Rovac — Vule Bozhidarev, Ivan Perkov and Stanko Radetin — went to Russia for help. The first official ties with Russia were established at the end of the 17th century. They had been especially tense since 1711 when Peter the Great sent a letter to Bishop Danilo. This initial stage of relations between Montenegro and Russia developed in the context of the slow formation of state power and the constant struggle with the Turks. Relations with Russia, the help received from it, the advice and instructions of Russian envoys had a very strong influence on the construction of state power in Montenegro. The connections established at that time determined the historical course of close ties with Russia, fateful and salvific for the entire history of Montenegro. During the time of Metropolitans Savva and Vasilii, these ties deepened and strengthened. Empress Elizabeth accepted bishop Sava as the «master» of Montenegro. Metropolitan Vasilii also knew that the only salvation for Montenegro was its closest ties with Russia, and even persuaded Russia to take Montenegro under its protectorate. Thanks to Metropolitan Vasilii, the Stanjevići monastery became a nursery for Russian patronage. Following the example of their predecessors, Bishops Peter I and Peter II maintained close ties with Russia and their people, and the Stanjevići monastery played an important role in these relations during the 18th and first three decades of the 19th centuries

    The Role of Pilgrimage in the Formation of a Religious Identity (on the Basis of the Kazakh Culture)

    Get PDF
    This paper discusses the role of pilgrimage in the modern Kazakh culture. Studies of the individual religious experience of modern Kazakhs allow researchers to distinguish at least two basic points of view on the tradition of making pilgrimages to sacral places. Thus, representatives of official Islamic institutions often condemn the practice of pilgrimage, wheras common people see no contradiction between the tradition of visiting holy places and the norms of Islam. Moreover, they consider themselves ‘true Muslims’ while admitting the specificity of Islam in Kazakhstan and referring to the long-standing custom of ancestors. The inclusion of the ‘new’ objects of pilgrimage related to the names of national heroes into the general context of the worshiped objects suggests that the traditional notions of sanctity remain still topical at present and form the religious consciousness of the modern Kazakhs. The cult of saints is officially recognized as part of the national culture and constitutes, along with other ethnical and historical symbols of the present-day Kazakhstan, a particular direction of the state cultural politics. The positioning of religious objects in the historical context allows for a compromise of its kind between the views of those who stand up for the Islamization of the ritual sphere and the traditionalists fighting for the preservation of the ethnic specifics of the Kazakh culture. On the basis of the conducted research, the author concludes that, notwithstanding the official prohibitions and disapproval of pilgrimage by the adherents of the Islamization of the Kazakh culture, pilgrimage remains an integral part of the modern religious life of Kazakhstan and has distinct links with the national and religious identity.The article was prepared within the framework of the project No. AP08856108 “The place of family rituals in the context of the theory of intangible heritage (on the example of Western Kazakhstan)”, funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan

    Amanats and Diplomats in Russian-Caucasian Relations

    Get PDF
    Studying the history of the North Caucasus and the relations between Russia and the peoples of North Caucasus is one of the main tasks of national scholars. Unfortunately, the number of researches into this theme is not large. That is why an interesting book written by F. A. Ozova, a well-known Caucasian historian, is worthy of attention. Her book is devoted to the institute of amanatism in the context of the Russian-Caucasian relations during 16th–19th centuries. This is a high-quality research based on a wide range of historical sources of different origins. Some of these sources are introduced into the scholarships for the first time. The historian created a very bright and detailed portrait of the institute of amanatism, which enables readers to see a colourful multitude of such amanats: from noble dukes to ragged boys seen by A. Pushkin during his journey to Arzrum. However, it is difficult to agree with some ideas concerning the historical development of Russia and Cherkessia and also with the role of the institute of amanatism in their relations. The author tends to modernize the history of Cherkessia / Kabarda to a large extent, perceiving it as some feudal and some estate-representative state. Nevertheless, according to the modern approach and level of the knowledge, the character of many institutes both in the mountains and on the plains was archaic. The institute of amanatism served first of all as some tool of annexing new lands to Russia

    New Edition of the Travel Notes of Erich Lassota von Steblau

    Get PDF
    The review analyzes the new edition of the travel notes of the Silesian nobleman Erich Lassota von Steblau (1550–1616). It was prepared by an international team of authors from Scandinavia and Germany led by Thomas Riis. Lassota’s travel notes are the most important source on the history of the 16th century and a number of European countries. Lassota traveled as a mercenary commander and diplomat to Spain, Portugal, Poland, Sweden, and Ukraine. Until now, only historians of these countries have been interested in his testimonies. The focus of researches was mainly on ethnographic and political aspects. Meanwhile, for the first time since 1866, the new edition has united the entire corpus of Lassota’s records known to us and enables to widen the scope of the discussion. How was the religious climate of the era reflected in his texts and to which extent? Were they written by a Catholic or a Protestant? Can we talk about the national or political preferences of the author? Finally, what was Lassota’s gentry worldview, and how did he construct his own estate identity? In addition, a nobleman from Silesia was keenly interested in military affairs, in particular, in Spanish combat tactics. His notes also demonstrate the level of book culture, the author’s acquaintance with the works of prominent contemporaries. All these aspects nowadays are noteworthy to European historians on a wide interregional material
