The original creative group of students of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute visited National Pedagogical Drahomanov University on May 30. For the second time in a row, with the initiative of experienced philosophers, the All-Ukrainian contest of aphorisms was held there. The founders of the contest are PhD in philosophy , professor, writer and psychoanalyst Nazip Khamitov and PhD in philosophy, professor, head of the Department of Philosophical Anthropology of the NPU, Svitlana Krylova . There were a lot of young and adult authors from many Ukrainian cities in the assembly hall. The jury from "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" is PhD in philosophy, professor of the Department of Philosophy, Maryna Prepotenska and candidate of philosophical sciences, associate professor, Iryna Pokulita . It should be added, that Iryna Pokulita acted not only as a harsh critic, but also adorned the contest with a virtuoso play on the violin. Melodies of Vivaldi, Brahms, Gluck and Skoryk contributed to the elevated romantic atmosphere of the holiday!
Speaking from the stage their own laconic maxims, our students proved that they are ready to compete even with the classics of winged expressions! Some of them have received diplomas. Serhii Boiko (the student of FIOT, group ІP-53) wrote a proper aphorism "Mathematics teaches to think, and literature - to express opinion" and in addition declared the most laconically: "Time has seen everything." Anastasiia Havrachynska (the student of FL, group LA-51) - the author of the expression "Inability to forgive leads to loneliness, inability to love - hides a person under the granite of self-indulgence." But the student of FIOT (group - IP-51), Maksym Mykolaienko completely captivated the jury with his aphorism "Tell a beloved a novel, friends - a history, head - a fairy tale". The audience met the idea with applause and unanimously advised Max not to confuse suddenly, what to tell whom.
In the end, the philosophical and musical performance has shown that the students of polytechnics have outstanding skills in philosophizing, seeking wisdom and are able to find golden grains of truth! So, we wish them further inspiration in a creative work and grateful public!
