Genius. Talent. Golden Mediocrity
Provider:
Iversity
Course SummaryGenius, talent and golden mediocrity are different dimensions of human existence. Our course shows how these three dimensions manifest themselves in life and how you can fulfill your genius, abilities, talents more fully and completely. The course is of an applied nature and is oriented to studies in the field of creative life intensification psychology, help with the experience of crises, human potential realization and care. It may be useful for professional psychologists, for specialists whose activity involves empathy, inspiration, understanding and creating of daily life, and for all who are interested in the topic. The course is made in the popular form of short videos relying on free network resources users. What will I learn?A phenomenological description of genius, talent and golden mediocrity as specific dimensions of human life, correction of errors and misapprehensions of common sense. We critically examine the manifestations of the studied "dimensions" (phenomena), in order that by putting off all "the supposed" we could find specific and inherent meaning. The phenomenological method is to understand and express in simple terms the fundamental structure of creative activity, to express everything that was, that is and that will be important in the psychology of creative life. What do I need to know?No prior knowledge of phenomenology of genius, talent and mediocrity is needed in order to attend the MOOC. General cultural knowledge, interest in creativity, phenomenology, and psychology is welcome. It is advisable to understand what benefits a person in general and a student of this course in particular to have an access for literary writings, for the environment (online in our case) to meet with people, for travels, for participation in the upbringing of children, etc. We assume that students will be quite tolerant to some uncertainty in the process of clarifying the meanings and fundamentals for the intensive creative life. Our target audience: students of psychology, social sciences, art; professional psychologists; specialists whose activity involves empathy, inspiration, understanding and creating of daily life; everyone who is interested in the topic. Course StructureGeneral Course Outline Three chapters: Genius, Talent, Golden mediocrity. Talent is what is given. Care for the world. Motivation. Genius reveals itself.
