Abstract

Aims of the research: 1) to problematize the topic of science and education and propose an alternative, Chinese-specific approach to science and education; 2) to identify the characteristics of scientific enthusiasm and motivation of the most prominent Chinologists - V.M. Alekseyev and Guo Moruo, to consider their experience and scientific worldview as examples of scientists looking for ways to scientific enthusiasm and motivation in education. The topic of scientific enthusiasm and motivation is highlighted in the context of modern, stressful conditions for science, when the life of researchers in various fields enables not scientific activity, which is specified in writing and publishing articles in scientific publications, but more pressing issues, for example, of finance and overcoming the difficulties of the COVID pandemic. The topic of the crisis of Western culture is problematized, the possibility of studying alternative worldview systems and methodologies is substantiated. The research describes the life path and systematizes the scientific worldview of academician V.M. Alekseyev, a great Russian Chinologist, as well as the factors that inspired his scientific activity. We describe the main episodes of the life and scientific path of the outstanding Chinese academician Guo Moruo, widely known at one time in the USSR and the People's Republic of China, and now all over the world. The life milestones of Guo Moruo are briefly outlined, his characteristics as a scientist and writer, a public figure are given, the peculiarities of his personality and creativity are studied; the factors that influenced his personality are summarized in his scientific achievements. His scientific methodology is reconstructed and his main ideological positions and character traits that have become factors of his scientific, creative and social activities are formulated.
