Abstract

Introduction. Conceptual and figurative thinking is, first of all, the development of fantasy and imagination, which is relevant in view of professional (engineering) orientation in higher education institution. The problematic nature of the task of its formation is analyzed from the philosophical methodology position, which allows students to master the techniques, rules of thinking activity, artistic language in educational and creative work. The circle of questions related to the problem solution is built on the experience of philosophical education in a technical university. Methodology. The object of the study is the artistic and figurative typological correspondences between the philosophical worldview and fiction. The analysis is carried out on the principle of systematicity, which allows us to explain the commonality of semantic definition of universal problems of being. Discussion. Philosophical education in a technical university is important in the aspect of the formation problem of a special type of thinking, limited to artistic, scientific and philosophical cognition: translation of abstract concepts into images, or a combination of both. Typological correspondences between philosophy and fiction make it possible to synthesize figurative thinking and abstract thinking, determining the learning style. Conclusion. In the models of practical training a significant place is given to the student’s independent work both in the traditional form (abstract, essay) and innovative (a letter to the thinker and co-creation with the author of the text). The solution of this issue is in three aspects: improvement of technique and methods of performance; modification of creativity types; modeling of the situation of reflection work (collective discussion of the results of work with small art forms). Philosophical reflections, innovative ideas, play of the mind, construction of pure thought, formation of intellectual capital can become self-valuable when using any genres of literature in a certain effective performance, giving new properties to the training session, the organization of educational activity.
