Lev Aleksandrovich Zelenov (July 19, 1933, selo Sarley, Dalnekostantinovsky District, Gorky Krai — September 9, 2021, Nizhny Novgorod) — Soviet and Russian philosopher, specialist in aesthetics, social philosophy, and sociology; poet. Founder of the academic school "Methodology of Human Studies".[1]
Philosophical Activity
Zelenov worked in Nizhny Novgorod (Gorky) as a lecturer in aesthetics and philosophy. In 1969 he founded the philosophical club "Universum" on the basis of the "Scientific Club of Aesthetics" he had previously established at the Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. The club brought together the Nizhny Novgorod intelligentsia — primarily university lecturers — and for decades engaged in developing concepts of one's relationship to the world.[1] Zelenov led "Universum" for more than forty years: under his guidance the club became a regular venue for brainstorming sessions, the results of which took the form of publications and practically implemented ideas.[1]
Academic School
Zelenov was a professor and the founder of the academic school "Methodology of Human Studies," within which he developed problems of aesthetics, social philosophy, and sociology.[1] Participation in his club influenced a number of Nizhny Novgorod researchers and practitioners, among them entrepreneur and amateur philosopher Andrey Golovinsky, who became the author of several publications on the philosophy of human existence, in part owing to the discussions held at "Universum".[1]
Zelenov also headed the board of curators of the Scientific Society of Students "Evrika" of the city of Nizhny Novgorod, serving as chairman of the board of curators from May 31, 1993 to May 3, 2001.[2]
