Research Interests
Shingarov’s work has investigated the methodological problems of the history of medicine (psychiatry and physiology of higher nervous activity), the specific features reflected in the biomolecular level of organization of matter, the psychological and epistemological features of emotions and feelings as a form of reflection of reality, the relationship between consciousness and unconscious mental processes, psychological and epistemological features of catharsis, the role of suggestion and hypnosis in private and public life. Georgy Shingarov developed a concept that views the conditioned reflex as a system of signs, in which are added a specific cause-and-effect relationship between an organism and unconditional (biologically significant) irritant with the emergence of the “ideal” and its carrier – the conditioned stimulus (the sign, the signal); it puts forward the concept of the unity of the historical and logical development in the physiology of the nervous system; the features of the theory and method of knowledge of I. P. Pavlov. Shingarov’s work covers questions of symbols and ontology and the epistemology of supernatural mythology.
