Elena Kosilova is a Doctor of Philosophy, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. She graduated from the biological faculty of Moscow State University but left biology for the sake of philosophy. Her research interest includes:
Philosophy of Science, from Philosophy of Psychiatry to Philosophy of Mathematics. In the philosophy of mathematics, she is especially interested in the Pythagorean motives that have appeared recently, and the general question of the relationship between mathematics and physics.
Philosophy of the subject. This is close to philosophical anthropology, but the question is not only what a person is in general, but more in what he/she does, thinks, how he/she solves existential questions. Especially important is the question of the interaction of the subject with the Others, this interaction is multilateral and often conflicting (and should be so). There are about a dozen paradigms of subjectivity, which differ in the interpretation of the subject and his relationship to the world.
Epistemology and gnoseology, and in them especially - the philosophy of understanding. There are different approaches to what an understanding is, for example, philosophers argue whether it is a mental entity. What does it mean to understand another person? What does it mean to understand a logical law or a mathematical theorem? All these questions do not have an unambiguous answer (it is enough to compare Husserl and Wittgenstein).
