“THE FUTURE OF PHILOSOPHY” ABOUT THE FUTURE OF PHILOSOPHY (<i>OR</i> THE FUTURE OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE VIEWS OF THE STUDENTS AND THE POST-GRADUATE COURSE STUDENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY)

Abstract

The main aim of the article is to show that nowadays our students are the future of philosophy. As an example we can show those, who are at the beginning of the way, and those, who are finishing their education, specialising on “Philosophy” at Faculty of Humanities, which united three faculties in 2013 - Faculty of Philosophy and Teology, the Historical Faculty and Faculty of Philology. Such a choice (the 1st and the 5th year students, the post-graduate course students among our graduates of Faculty of Philosophy and Teology of Minin Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University) was made deliberately in order to compare the viewpoints at the beginning (the initial knowledge of philosophy) and at the end of getting philosophical education at the University and to show the “seeing thought”, the thought-eyesight, literally - the worldview, in which we can find the basic destination of philosophy. The most active participants of the presentation on the symposium “The future of philosophy” are taking part as the co-authors of this article.
