The Reception of Aristotle in the Home Reading Programs of the Russian University Extension Movement (1894–1914)
The paper examines Aristotle’s place in one of the most significant public education projects in late 19th to early 20th century Russia – the “Home Reading Programs” (1894–1914), published by the Moscow Commission for Self-Education. The University Extension movement emerged as an attempt to overcome the class, geographic, and financial barriers that prevented broad segments of the population from accessing systematic university knowledge. The “P…
Illegal heirs of Demodocus
Epic songs played an essential didactical role in ancient Greek society, stabilizing it by the maintenance of its moral patterns. To achieve the desired effect on the audience, the aedes used special techniques. The improving aspect of epic poetry is typical for ancient authors using this genre. On the case of Parmenides’ poem, it is shown that philosophical poems follow only partially the principles of the epic genre, corresponding to it in fo…

The main interpretations of the method a…

There are new requirements for writing argumentative popular science texts and they must contain arguments that depend on the target audience. The need for a broad mastery of the skill of writing well-reasoned popular science texts is associated with the issues of understanding how…
Gorgias’s speech “On non-being”
Статья посвящена вопросу о философском характере двух версий пересказа трактата Горгия «О не-сущем» – скептической версии Секста Эмпирика и перипатетической анонимного автора. Предложен сравнительный анализ аргументов, которых придерживаются информаторы при изложении мысли Горгия, и демонстрируется философская проблематика, которая обсуждалась Горгием, судя по пересказам его речи, и то, каким образом обе версии дополняют и уточняют друг друга в…
