Abstract

The study deals with the issue of the relationship between society and those individuals who are called geniuses from the point of view of the concept of the Russian thinker, autodidact, scientist and teacher K.E. Tsiolkovsky, who presented the main points on this topic in his works. The text consistently collects and systematically presents the specifics of the figure of genius itself and the qualities that it should possess, as well as a modern view of the acceptance of the genius of discoveries. As an example of a creative and brilliant personality in relation to other people and the view that we have today, the method of neurography is considered. At the final stage, the question is raised about the possibility of genius and the formation of a type of society that can be called perfect. The author draws parallels between the views of K.E. Tsiolkovsky and his Western contemporary J. Dewey on education and creative activity in it, in the context of educating a future genius. As a result, the author reviews the ranks of personalities proposed by K.E. Tsiolkovsky.
