Member of the Expert Council of the contest of the best works of the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Main results

It is shown that from the axial time in various civilizations there was a spiritual avant-garde, which broke through to creative novelty and formulated the goals of the future development of mankind. Based on a series of articles, it is demonstrated that in Antiquity such an avant-garde were philosophers who designated truth as a goal. In the Middle Ages, the telos of the Christian avant-garder became the presence before the Face of the Lord, in which everything is contained - the Way, the Truth, and the Meaning. The renaissance apology of Man leads to the idea of domination over nature. Having fallen away from the whole — God, the One, the Universe — modern man, who imagined himself the center and tried to take the place of this whole, actually turned into an "atomized" individual, unable to develop uniqueness. It is shown that the three main achievements of F. M. Dostoevsky are: 1) the study of man on three levels – humaneness, humanity and all-humanity; 2) the combination of polyphony with symphonicity as the basis of artistic and philosophical synthesis; 3) the combination of his three main philosophical concepts – pochvennichestvo, Russian idea and Russian socialism. The connection and interdependence of poetic creativity (using the example of A. K. Tolstoy) with the poet's love for a woman who became a life partner for several decades before the poet's death is shown. The formation and development of the concept of "pneumatosphere" is shown through the prism of the basic concepts of modern natural science. The specificity of philosophical creativity in relation to other branches of culture is shown, which includes the strength and depth of understanding of a special range of problems related to philosophical (ontological, epistemological, anthropological, etc.), with the indispensable condition that the value of a philosophical work is evaluated not only on the scale of "true – false", but also on the scale of "good – evil" in accordance with the ancient principle of the unity of truth, goodness and beauty. (2021)

Based on the analysis of the current situation and, in particular, the coronavirus pandemic, two ideas are considered – the idea of freedom-wisdom in its relationship with freedom of thought and the idea of anti-creativity on the example of trends in art and scientific developments on the creation of pathogens and their spread. The article shows the connection of the concept of freedom-wisdom with the problem of creativity and the need to limit the unrestrained desire for novelty in spite of the social significance of the results. (2020)

The basic results of the work and their novelty: the definitions of self-creation and creativity of life are given. It is shown how they work in the broad context of the history of philosophy-the philosophy of Antiquity, religious systems and systems of education. (2019)

In the book “Russian Revolution and the Civilizational Principles of Russia” the concepts of the nineteenth century, which are part of the civilization core of Russian culture, are considered: the doctrine of the collegiality of A. S. Khomyakov, the concept cultural and historical types of N. Ya. Danilevsky, the notion of Russian idea and Russian socialism of F. M. Dostoevsky, the concept of non-resistance to evil violence of L. N. Tolstoy. Their influence on the Russian revolution is shown. (2018)

In the book ‘Creativity, Human Being, Science’ We consider the relationship between creativity as such and self-creativity, which is understood as a special kind of creativity related to the Creator himself, who is trying to change himself in accordance with his ideas about the ideal of man as a qualitatively new education, not former before. Identified are similar to the stages of creativity self-creativity as: 1) preparation – the attainment of peace of mind prior to the training; 2) cleansing – "the descent of the mind" and the attainment of correct ideas; 3) the perfection of a virtuous life; 4) verification of the obtained results. (2018)

The articles, published in 2018, investigated the features of collective social creativity in the period of the Russian revolution, as well as the role of ideas and cultural meaning of self-sacrifice in the individual creativity of individual thinkers. The fundamental role of social creativity is shown on the example of concepts N. Y. Danilevsky, F. M. Dostoevsky and L. N. Tolstoy in changing the world, as well as the important role of individual creativity in terms of working with ideas in the transformation of the inner world of man, since ancient times. (2018)

In 2010th (untill 2017) engaged in the philosophical problems of creativity: the importance of philosophy of creativity, the problem of understanding the meaning of creativity, the role of creativity in the development of man and society, the main properties and social purpose of art. It is shown that the sense of creativity is a set of processes of transformation of bodily to spiritual and spiritual to corporal. On the topic of "Creativity and self-creativity" on the basis of wide use of domestic and foreign historical and philosophical material from antiquity to the present day explores the properties and characteristics of self-creativity as a special kind of creativity, drawn to the subject of creativity. Shows the relationship between the creativity of culture and the transformation of the subject of creativity. In the framework of activities of the Institute of philosophy of the 100th anniversary of the Russian revolution shows how creative constructs, created by A. S. Khomyakov, N. Ya. Danilevsky, F. M. Dostoyevsky, opposed to the revolutionary violence and the disintegration of the Russian civilization.

In 2000th years Gorelov investigated knowledge problems, including a parity of true and sense, true and creativity, a role of concept of true in evolutionary epistemology.

Since the early 1990s Gorelov attaches great importance to today's global problems. He believes that globalization is an objective tendency of world development that continues the general tendency of social integration of humanity. However, globalization should not be limited to any one option, and should include the use of cultural diversity made civilizations past and present. In order to take their rightful place in the globalizing world, Russia's development must comply with the current trend information, mechanization, democratization, ecologization, etc., and at the same time conform to civilization specificity that distinguishes the Russian culture as a link between the cultures of West and East to the vast space Eurasia. For the formation of a new global world is very important to overcome the ecological, socio-economic and spiritual crisis of humanity, his attainment of a higher moral level, what help can be essential spiritual and social potential of the Russian Idea.

Gorelov A.A. was engaged in the study of philosophical questions the relationship between man and nature, including the global dimension of environmental problems in 1970-80. Gorelov to trace the connection of global ecological crisis to crisis socio-economic and spiritual crisis of man. He formulated the immediate scientific, technical and socio-economic problems prevent an ecological catastrophe. To do this, in his opinion, requires the harmonization of the relationship between man and nature in three areas - transformational, cognitive, ethical and aesthetic. He developed the concept of socio-natural progress, and aggressively consumer-loving creative alternatives to the development of personality, integrity, knowledge and transformation of the world, etc.
