Everything about Russian Cosmism totally explained
Russian cosmism is a cosmocentric
philosophical and
cultural movement that emerged in
Russia in the early
20th century. It entails a broad theory of
natural philosophy combining elements of
religion and
ethics, a history and philosophy of the
origin,
evolution and future existence of the
cosmos and
humankind. It combines elements from both
Eastern and
Western philosophic traditions as well as from
Russian Orthodox Church.
Many ideas of the Russian cosmists were later developed by those in the
transhumanism movement.
Representatives
Among the major representatives of Russian cosmism was
Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov (1828—1903), an advocate of radical
life extension by means of scientific methods, human
immortality and
resurrection of dead people.
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857—1935) was the first pioneer of theoretical
space exploration and
cosmonautics. In 1903, he published
Исследование мировых пространств реактивными приборами (
The Exploration of Cosmic Space by Means of Reactive Devices [Rockets]), the first serious scientific work on space travel. Tsiolkovsky believed that
colonizing space would lead to the perfection of the human race, with immortality and a carefree existence. He also developed ideas of the "animated atom" (
panpsychism), and "radiant mankind".
Other Ukrainian-Russian cosmists included
Vladimir Vernadsky (1863—1945), who developed the notion of
noosphere, and
Alexander Chizhevsky (1897—1964), pioneer of
Heliobiology.
