metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article attempts to interpret the philosophy of Russian natural-scientific cosmism
  in terms of process thought. As the most developed version of this strategy of thinking, Whitehead’s process philosophy is considered. In the course of a comparative analysis
  of Whitehead’s philosophy with the ideas of the Russian cosmists A. L. Chizhevsky,
  K. E. Tsiolkovsky and V. I. Vernadsky the ideological, conceptual and terminological
  proximity of cosmists to process philosophy, and hence process thought strategy is
  revealed. A number of key concepts of process philosophy that are discussed in the
  article: novelty, event, organism, emotional experience, prehension, concrescence. The
  comparative analysis of Whitehead’s philosophy and the ideas of Russian cosmists
  based on the works of A. L. Chizhevsky, K. E. Tsiolkovsky and V. I. Vernadsky reveals
  the philosophical, conceptual and terminological similarity of the cosmists and process
  thought and, therefore, the process strategy of thinking. Referring to the poetic
  and scientific heritage of A. L. Chizhevsky, the authors find an outstanding example
  of a holistic worldview and an organicist attitude toward being. The central ideas of
  K. E. Tsiolkovsky are those of panpsychism, unification and community. Finally, it becomes
  known that V. I. Vernadsky pays close attention to the philosophical foundations
  of a naturalist scientist’s work in his studies. It is noted that Whitehead’s philosophy of
  process seems to him the most appropriate in this respect. Thus, organicism position;
  eco-oriented worldview; embedding man in the logic of nature; the priority of societies,
  nexus and relationships over individuals; ontology of holistic (cosmic) vision of
  reality; panpsychism; aestheticization of the cosmological process — these and other
  facets of process thought in the works of the cosmists make it possible to classify Russian
  natural-scientific cosmism as a processual mode of thought.
