Cosmism was originated in Russia more than a hundred years ago. That was an esoteric futuristic philosophy about post-humanity, technological immortality, resurrection, and cosmic expansion. Early Russian cosmists (N.F. Fiodorov) proposed the idea of decompaction (lightweighting) of the human body, that eventually would not need an atmosphere and would be powered directly by the solar energy. They call it “radiant humanity” - a perfect society of highly moral and super-conscious beings merging and colonizing the whole Universe. Modern Cosmism brings to this doctrine an ontological foundation, a scientific structure and a deeper comprehension of possible technology.

Modern Cosmism is the development of ideas of classical Russian cosmism in the context of 21st century technologies and existential philosophy. This is a project of a scientific and philosophical doctrine with its own information ontology and evolutionary understanding of fundamental principles of reality, time, life, and superintelligence. Modern Cosmism is also unique concepts in the theory of knowledge, artificial consciousness, technological singularity, and cosmic ethics.
