Russian cosmism

Russian cosmism is a philosophical and cultural movement from early 20th-century Russia that combines scientific exploration, cosmic understanding, and spiritual ideas. It emphasizes humanity’s duty to explore space, believing technological progress can help overcome death and enable spiritual growth. Thinkers like Nikolai Fyodorov envisioned humanity’s future as linked to the cosmos, advocating for life extension, space colonization, and our unity with the universe. Russian cosmism integrates science, religion, and ethics, inspiring ideas about expanding human presence beyond Earth and seeking a higher, cosmic purpose for humanity.
