Prof. Dr. Gábor Sonkoly, Dean, ELTE BTK

Interviewer: Dr. Anna Katalin Aklan, Indologist

Az interjú során bepillantást nyerhetünk Dr. Sonkoly Gábor kutatásaiba, amely során az ősi indiai filozófiát tanulmányozta. Olvasmányaiból, indiai látogatásaiból, lelki vezetőkkel való találkozásaiból merített tudása hozzájárul az egyetemi ismeretek gazdagodásához. Történész lévén a kulturális örökséget korunkra vonatkoztatott jelentőségének szempontjából vizsgálja. Véleménye szerint nagyobb figyelem és az oktatási módszetan változása szükséges ahhoz, hogy a nyelvoktatás terén is alkalmazkodni tudjunk a modern körülményekhez.

In this interview we get an insight into the deep research & study that Dr. Sonkoly has done in ancient Indian philosophy, his visits to India, his interactions with spiritual Gurus, his reads and also his passion to make the department enriched with more India related research & study. Being a historian, he also delves deeper into aspects of cultural heritage and its relevance in contemporary times. He also speaks of the demand of greater awareness and necessary changes in methods of teaching languages, to be able to adapt to modern circumstances.
