A graduate biography

Philosopher Cyril Zhdanko graduate stories. Philosopher Kirill Zhdanko, the successful ending of graduate school opens the way to the degree of candidate and doctor of science. How and why graduates choose the road to graduate school? What are they fond of? About this and much more - in our material. Graduate students pass two candidate exams, offset on pedagogy and psychology, and at the same time conduct scientific activities.

In the second year-the study of the discipline about information databases, two courses on the choice, work on the dissertation and research practice. The last year is pedagogical practice and passing a candidate exam in a specialty. The final semester implies the protection of the final scientific report and the discussion of the dissertation at the departments.

When deciding to go to graduate school, there was no doubt about choosing a place, because my goal is to obtain a high -quality and full -fledged higher education, as well as conducting active scientific life. I always had a large circle of interests: history, culture, linguistics, literature, art, anthropology and much more. I was lucky, since my specialty made it possible to unite the areas of interest to me and carry out interdisciplinary research.

At the undergraduate, I was engaged only in philosophical anthropology, and for all four years I was occupied by the theme of transgumanism and scientific immortalism. During my studies, the interests have changed a bit, and now I am studying the concept of possible worlds. Initially, possible worlds are a concept from logic. Speaking briefly, then possible worlds are understood to mean all possible options for the outcome of the event that arise in our head, up to the realization of one of them into reality.

For example, we have a coin, we throw it into the air, and our thinking sees three possible outcomes: an eagle, a tails or a rib. All options are equally possible, have equal chances of existence until one of them naturally occurs. For a long time, this concept existed only within the framework of logic, but literary critics became interested in it and began to use it to study the phenomenon of fiction in literature.

Then representatives of other sciences connected. The idea of ​​my dissertation is that we can use this concept in particular in anthropological studies regarding human nature and the problems of its existence. For this, we have fiction and culture of intellectual leisure, that is, various riddles and puzzles. The fact is that in artistic reality we can create a obviously irreal situation and put in it an abstract, averaged image of a person and “pushes” him with a certain being, the image of which personifies the laws, logic and principles of this situation that is non -existent in our reality.

Thanks to this, in theory we will be able to identify and analyze certain features of human thinking that are partially or completely inaccessible in other forms of analysis. This method in my dissertation I call formal anthropology. Thus, now my studies are combined by literary criticism, non -classical logic and anthropology, which cannot but rejoice. After all, I remain faithful to the versatility of my interests and do a truly loved thing.
