“The future” is a global category (and a distinct value) encompassing new technologies and living environments, new economies, ethics, politics and even a new type of people, as well as the unknown, generating a whole set of fears, risks and — at the same time — opportunities. Civilisations play a key role in shaping the future. In this respect, the colossal experience of China is of particular interest. Russia’s distinctive approach to the future draws upon the rich tapestry of traditions, religions, and lifestyles that have come together to form our unique social and political landscape. Recognizing the multipolarity of the world, we embrace multiple possibilities for the future. |
The lecture generated great interest and sparked an energetic discussion. Topics included Kant, philosophy, how ideas manifest in life, and what to expect from the future. The Q&A section was opened by the guest of honour, a specialist in the study of Russian philosophy, Professor of Beijing Normal University, a foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zhang Baichun.
From 2–7 June, the IKBFU delegation plans to visit several Chinese scientific, educational, and cultural centres with the aim of expanding international partnerships in the country.
