Principles of Cosmic Thinking as the Basis of Holistic Research Approach

Abstract

This article pursues the aim of understanding the philosophical principles of the Russian cosmists and the Teaching of Living Ethics with regard to solving the problem of the holistic approach. The research shows that the methodological principle of Three-Hypostasis Essence of the Absolute forming the basis of cosmism provides new opportunities for an integral systemic understanding of Being - in the unity of its ontological, epistemological and axiological aspects. Including in the structure of its body not only empiric and rational capabilities of man’s world perception but as well spiritual ones, relating to heart activity, the proposed approach provides the grounds for a deeper systemic vision of the world and man in it. It allows to understand the algorithm of natural evolutional dynamics of cosmic Being, work out methodological principles of integral systemic understanding of the world, and conceive the significance and urgency of man’s spiritual development. On the whole, the acquisition and practical application of philosophical principles of cosmic thinking will create the preconditions for evolutional cosmic development of man and society.
