Russian Cosmism

Exploring radical biopolitical utopianism, this collection features key texts from Russian Cosmism, many newly available in English. Emerging alongside Marxism, Cosmism sought transformative change, envisioning a world free from death and limitless in cosmic exploration. Founded by Nikolai Fedorov, this movement inspired a diverse array of artists and thinkers, influencing Soviet politics and technology until its suppression in the 1930s. As contemporary discussions merge philosophy with science, the relevance of these Cosmist ideas resurfaces, inviting renewed engagement.
