Abstract

The article presents a study on a famous scholar of antiquity A.F. Losev in connection with anniversaries associated with his name: 130 years since his birth; 100th anniversary of Professor A.A. Takho-Godi – a faithful companion of A.F. Losev, the custodian of his intellectual heritage; 70 years since the death of the wife of A.F. Losev – V.M. Sokolova-Loseva. The article emphasizes the educational role of the personality and works of the scientist for modern generations of linguists. An assessment is given to the linguo-philosophical works of A.F. Losev. The facts of the biography, which became fundamental in the worldview of the scientist (the education he received, his passion for philosophy, acquaintance with famous philosophers of the early 20th century), are considered. The personality of the scientist is considered from the standpoint of his attitude to the Motherland, to science, to pedagogical activity, to close people – comrades-in-arms. The authors recommend, in the context of the ongoing reforms in the system of higher education, to increase the amount of study time for professional disciplines, to return special courses and special seminars to the practice of educational, scientific and educational work.
