In search of a road to the stars
Last September, the world celebrated the 165th anniversary of the thinker, a scientist who not only gave humanity a dream of space flights, but also proposed technical solutions to implement this idea. We are talking about Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, who is rightfully called the ancestor of astronautics. But Tsiolkovsky, dreaming of mastering the cosmos, thought first of all not about solving technical problems. He was owned by the idea of the exit of mankind outside the Earth, the development of other planets is one of the key ideas of cosmism.
What is cosmism? Wikipedia gives the following answer: “A number of religious-philosophical, mystical, artistic, aesthetic and scientific-futurological movements of the beginning of the 20th century, united in one commonality on the basis of the presence of ideas about a person and humanity as elements related to a single whole with cosmos and developing Together with him according to some general laws. " Speaking about cosmism, we primarily mean Russian cosmism and Nikolai Fedorovich Fedorov (1829-1903), a person who, back in the 19th century, formulated his basic idea: the world (including life and humanity) is a naturally evolving system.
Cosmism is a very vivid phenomenon uniting philosophical, art, scientific and technical thought. It was originally directed to the future, although, to be honest, it should be added - very distant. He left his mark in art-in many works of the great tribe of fantasy writers, in the amazing paintings of cosmist artists, in successful and unsuccessful films of various directors. He gave us the achievements of astronautics, developing a rapid pace.
At the same time, cosmism causes an ambiguous attitude in the scientific environment - there are its supporters, there are harsh critics. We decided to present both positions. Therefore, within the framework of the main topic, you can get acquainted with the opposite points of view on this phenomenon. Moreover, one of the areas of cosmism - the idea of a person’s development of space space - also causes different assessments, which is fully reflected in the materials of the main topic.
Truth may be born in the dispute, although often each of the parties remains with its own opinion. However, in this case, the choice is behind the third party - for readers
