Last time I took up on history. Speaking of history, I thought about Russian Cosmism, so this time about it.
Thinkers after the Russian Revolution say that “true equality socialism is the mission to let all the deceased people live again.” This idea was proposed for the ideal society of the future but the scale is so huge.
Well, today go spectacularly!
First of all, the outline.
Russian Cosmism is based on the philosophy of naturalism and the idea of Christianity (Russian Orthodox) and deals with the history and philosophy of the origins, evolution, and future of the universe and human beings.The pioneer is Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov, a librarian who has a synonym for “Socrates of Moscow”. His basic idea is to overcome death = gravity by controlling nature, the literal revival of all fathers, and immortality of man. Fyodorov called all human-like projects for this human resurrection and immortality as “collaborative project” (obshchee delo), and total human race together to work on this “project” to regain bloodstability (rodstvo). And he called on us to release ourselves from the unreliged nature of this world which is the root cause of human misfortune.
His philosophy has influenced various aspects such as literature and philosophy, politics, science in Russia. He gave a lot of imagination to Dostoyevski, Tolstoy, Platonov and others.

Well, how about reading this far?
When I learned about this thought, was there someone who had ideas like that! ! I was very surprised. “Real socialism is to revive all the people who have died so far”. Right! Moreover, the thought’s innovation, thought that would convince somewhere, mixed complicatedly, and there was fun to imagine if it really did come true ….
And Fyodorov insisted that the device is a museum for the resurrection of the dead. It is to gather all the living evidence of human beings and to fulfill the resurrection of the dead from here. Oh I see.
As I learned this idea in the context of art, I became interested because the museum as a device and cosmology were linked here. However, taking into account the past, the present and the future, the whole humanity project toward human resurgence and immortality is a “joint project”, so the past talk of thinking of the dead is a fraction of this magnificent thought.
The development of science and technology, space development, and immortality … and that thought are infinite like the universe. I am excited about the endless world and at the same time I feel uncontrollable and I feel discouraged.
After that, it is also interesting so much radical thought was born because Mr. Fyodorov was a librarian (he seemed to have had a huge knowledge), the period after the Russian revolution, Russia’s culture, and the climate of Russia which lasts for a long cold winter.

Here is an article on Russian cosmology from the context of art. It’s quite interesting.
