The theme of the III-rd Readings is “Scientific heritage of L.V. Shaposhnikova. The Origins and Prospects of Russian Cosmism”.
L.V. Shaposhnikova is an outstanding scientist and public figure of our time, who devoted more than half of her creative life to study artistic and philosophical heritage of the Roerichs family, as well as the heritage of Russian cosmism.
Russian cosmism is a unique phenomenon of national and world culture. It is based on cosmic thinking and cosmic worldview, with modern scientific thinking in its best cognitive discoveries and findings to be the part of it. Representing man and space as an integrated interactive system, cosmism contributes to the convergence of various fields of knowledge, reveals its high moral, ethical and aesthetic potential.
Thanks to the numerous works of L.V. Shaposhnikova, in which the features of philosophy of history, philosophy of art and philosophy of culture are revealed, one can talk about the importance of a new research methodology and a new system of reality cognition. This is closely related to the philosophical system of Living Ethics, or the philosophy of cosmic reality, with the help of which L.V. Shaposhnikova not only revealed, but also expanded the understanding of the main principles of Russian cosmism and demonstrated their evolutionary value.
Scientific heritage of L.V. Shaposhnikova, continuing the best traditions of Russian cosmism, gives a brilliant example to apply new research approaches to understand the phenomenon of human creativity, to search for the ways of moral development inextricably linked to the laws of the Universe.
New approaches and research methods of L.V. Shaposhnikova as well as their relevance for the development of scientific knowledge are proposed to be discussed at the Readings.
