Immunity to Chaos: How Personal Resources Help Us Cope with the Challenges of a Turbulent World
International conflicts, crises and digital overload—the modern world puts our minds to the test every day. Traditional psychology often focuses on the consequences: anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders. But what if we looked at the problem differently—through the lens of the resources that prevent us from breaking down? Psychological immunity is precisely this set of resources. Alena Zolotareva and her group, Psychological Immunity as a Resource for Positive Functioning, are developing an integrative model of this phenomenon, adapting diagnostic tools and preparing for large-scale empirical research. Why do psychologists need to collaborate with medical professionals, and how could their research transform preventive care in clinics and corporations?

‘Balkan Hospitality Opens Doors: Studying Dialects on the Verge of Extinction
You cannot study spoken dialects from books. Instead, you need to go to a village, seek out its elders, and earn the trust of local residents before you can record hours of spontaneous stories. This is how Natalia Muravleva, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Humanities, conducts her research. Her internship in Serbia continued her long-standing study of dialects spoken by Macedonian settlers. In this interview, she discusses how diaspora cultural centres help researchers reach informants, why native speakers need to be interviewed only in their own language (otherwise, as she puts it, they may 'break'), and how a single field season helped her finalise her monograph. She also shares warm memories of autumn in Belgrade and of colleagues with whom grammar can be discussed in three languages at once.

Giambattista Vico's discreta domanda: between Cartesian hypothesis, biblical demonstration, and mathesis politica

Ch. 5. P. 67–78.
Sokolov P.

 

This article is focused on the epistemological status of the New Science XLI Element, situated at an intersection of Biblical hermeneutics, civil science, and Cartesian «hypothetical cosmology». Our study seeks to disentangle the web of polemical contexts coming together in the «diluvian postulate» and to explain the peculiarity of this hybrid political–physical argument within the economy of Vichian opus magnum.

Exploring Fyodor Dostoevsky’s existential thought through the problem of the other
Nikolay V. Ryabchinskiy, Tomsk State University Journal of Philosophy, Sociology and Political Science 2024 No. 82 P. 107–118
Dostoevsky’s existential thought cannot be adequately understood outside the context of the Christian tradition with which he associated himself. Dostoevsky develops his ideas in accordance with the doctrine of “sobornost” by which God reveals himself primarily as the “bosom of universal synthesis”. Such a condition precedes the individual separateness and subjective isolation. Dostoevsky postulates the ...

Understanding F. Dostoevsky’s Existential Thought through the Problem of the Other
Рябчинский Н. В., / Basic Research Programme. Серия HUM "Humanities". 2022. № 210.
Although there is an extensive research aimed at examining the existential aspects of F. Dostoevsky’s thought, no study has been reported about the problem of the Other as a fundamental concept in this field. The current study aims to partially meet this gap. The paper is divided into five parts, each of which is devoted ...

Between the Universal and the Local: Political Linguistics and Social Anthropology from Giambattista Vico to Luigi Serio
Pavel V. Sokolov, , in: Universal Localities. The Languages of World Literature.: Berlin: J. B. Metzler Verlag, 2022. P. 187–202.
This paper deals with the conceptual interplay of universal and local in the political linguistics of several prominent eighteenth century Neapolitan thinkers: Giambattista Vico, Antonio Genovesi, Ferdinando Galiani, and Luigi Serio. Following the general lines of the early modern debates around the socio-political role of modern languages among the Settecento Neapolitan intellectuals, we examine a ...

Sokolov P., Ivanova J., , in: ACUTOINTENDERE. Studi su Vico e il Barocco.: Mimesis, 2021. P. 65–79.
This study deals with one of the most “baroque” aspects of the Vico’s New Science – the paradoxical “utopia” of its first principle, «the first human thought in the gentile world», in the anamorphic structure of this early modern Gesamtkunstwerk. Taking as a starting point the irreducible plurality of the principles of the Vichian civil ...

Sokolov P., Ivanova J., Философия. Журнал Высшей школы экономики 2020 Т. 4 № 3 С. 15–35
This study deals with two strategies of approaching the early modern epistemology of Gesteswissenschaften, the first of which sees in them the anticipation of historicism in the 19th - early 20th centuries, and the second – a precedent for turn to rhetoric and contingency, similar to the rhetorical turn in some areas of the theory ...

Ivanova J., Отечественная и зарубежная педагогика 2017 Т. 1 № 5 (43) С. 49–64
This article aims at reestablishing the context of the educative model, carried out by Jan Amos Comenius in his famous work Orbis sensualium pictus (1658). We have demonstrated that pedagogical thought of Comenius brings together two rival models of the production of knowledge and studying sciences: mathematical and topical. The heuristic potential of the topical ...

Physica ingeniosa and Abyssinian philosophy: the Ambivalence of the Cartesian Physics in De ratione, V
Ivanova J., Sokolov P., Laboratorio dell'ISPF 2016 Vol. 13 No. 8
This study contrasts Vico's conception of the physics based on ingenium, developed in chapter five of De ratione, to its alleged counterpart, Cartesian deductive natural science. By examining the various “faces” and ramifications of Cartesian physics with a special focus on Thomas Burnet's “ingenious physics”, we demonstrate the affinity of some versions of the Cartesian ...

Находчивая физика, или абиссинская философия: картезианская наука о природе в лекции Джамбаттисты Вико «О способе изучения и преподавания наук в наше время»
Ivanova J., Sokolov P., В кн.: Сад ученых наслаждений.: М.: Издательский дом НИУ ВШЭ, 2017. С. 9–22.
В данном исследовании развитое в v главе сочинения Джамбаттисты Вико "О современном методе исследования" видение физики, в центре которого стоит понятие ingenium, противопоставляется картезианскому пониманию естественнонаучного знания как основанного на дедукции. Исследуя различные модификации и ответвления картезианской физики и специально останавливаясь на phisica ingeniosa Томаса Бернета, авторы работы демонстрируют связь, наличествующую между некоторыми версиями картезианского ...

The article is focused on the chapters 19-22 of G. Vico's “New Science” of 1725. It deals with the Vichian reconstruction of the archaic self-consciousness of the Roman patricians.
