YSU researcher Aleksander Aghajanyan: "Young researchers are trained to be perfectly objective, to forget about themselves. But over time, it becomes clear that remaining human — with all one's subjectivity — is also important" Aleksander Aghajanyan, a researcher at the Department of Civilizational and Cultural Studies, YSU Institute for Armenian Studies, has primarily focused his academic work on the interaction between religious identity, culture, and society in the post-Soviet space. However, his interests have expanded beyond the regional context to include the study of world religions. In 2023, his article titled "НВ: о тбилисском мальчике, университетской культуре и о Дао, которое не выразишь словами" was published in the journal "Studia Religiosa Rossica". Inspired by that publication, we spoke with the researcher about how Daoist philosophy can intersect with the academic environment.
