Scientific contribution of Doctor of Philosophy, Professor E.P. Borzova to Russian Humanities.

Elena Petrovna Borzova - Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, has made a significant contribution to the development of the humanities. She is a scientist who justified several new directions, and remains the only author of a unique level of systematization in the field of philosophy and cultural studies.

1. It should be noted that prof. E.P. Borzova for the first time presented the fundamental system of Hegel's philosophy as the development of the universal, and the universal as the fundamental foundation of the developing philosophical system of Hegel. Her doctoral dissertation "From the Hegelian dialectics of the universal to the universal dialectic of unity" is the rationale for the idea of ​​the existence of universal dialectics as the unity of the being of the world and its thinking.

2. She belongs to the idea of substantiating universal dialectics as trialelectics, which is both a way of knowing the world, a way of its being and a way of development. In 2007, the professor completed and published the fundamental work "Triadology", which includes a picture of the development of trinity in the history of culture, in historical and philosophical concepts, a system of trialektics of worldview and trinity of the world. Triadology concludes with a chapter on specific forms of trinity: the triad as the essence of the development of culture, the trinitarian nature of the individual, the triad as the logical basis of law, and the triadic paradigms of social and political development. Until now, this triadic concept of a universal view of the structure of the universe has not been added; no other concept has been created.

3. Elena Petrovna, when in Russian higher education there was a need to fill the gap in the humanities, and instead of the history of the CPSU, they began to study cultural studies at universities, wrote a textbook on the history of world culture. E.P. Borzova wrote and published in 2001 a book that included material enormous in scope, unsurpassed in systematizing the achievements of the peoples of all civilizations and expressing universal values ​​in the cultures of different peoples. This tutorial has already undergone about a dozen publications and is still the most successful manual on a short and interesting presentation of material on the history of the culture of mankind (voluminous, but one volume), it is called "History of World Culture" .

4. Another work, which is as unique as possible in systematization, belongs to Elena Petrovna Borzova, “Comparative Cultural Studies” . This huge work is unique in that such a comparative analysis of the diversity of historical and cultural achievements could be made by the mind, which has a thorough historical and philosophical school, has a method of system analysis and a way of generalizing the vast material of human culture. This work systematically outlines the numerous and essential for the development of culture concepts of human development, made a unique comparative analysis of the contributions to the universal culture of humanity by humanity itself. One of the chapters of this fundamental analysis is devoted to the place of Russia in the world, its unique originality of culture and originality of mentality, not like the East, not the West; not to Asia, not to Europe. The culture of Russia is not shown as a synthesis of the cultures of Europe and Asia, the country of Russia is not like Eurasia, but as a multinational country unique in its own originality.

5. The most recent work by Professor E. P. Borzova is A Short Course in the History of Philosophy . It is that successful textbook that contains a non-ideological scientific approach to the presentation of the philosophical development of thought in history. The introduction substantiates the idea that today philosophy is becoming in demand, because it has the request of a society that has lost its way in search of its deepest idea. A request to explain what the human mind is in contrast to artificial intelligence, in which the essence of man and without which he is not a man, why man needs spiritual and moral values ​​and humanism, and what is the danger of transhumanism and propaganda of the values ​​of postmodernism. In the course of the history of philosophy, the main ideas on these issues of the smartest people of mankind are highlighted, the names of those works where they can be viewed, checked (critically examined) and traveled to the final “harbor” - fundamental classical philosophy, with its explanation of humane value, essence and destinations of man.
