Cosmism And Positivism
Cosmism and Positivism is a book written by John Fiske, an American philosopher and historian, that explores the two major philosophical movements of the 19th century: cosmism and positivism. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on cosmism and the second part on positivism.In the first part, Fiske discusses the cosmist philosophy, which was a movement that emerged in Russia in the late 19th century. Cosmism was based on the idea that the universe is a living organism and that human beings are an integral part of this organism. Fiske explores the history of cosmism, its key ideas, and its influence on Russian culture and society.In the second part of the book, Fiske turns his attention to positivism, a philosophical movement that emerged in France in the mid-19th century. Positivism was based on the idea that knowledge should be based on empirical evidence and that scientific methods should be used to study the natural world. Fiske explores the history of positivism, its key ideas, and its impact on Western philosophy and society.Throughout the book, Fiske provides a detailed analysis of the two philosophical movements, their similarities and differences, and their influence on the cultural and intellectual landscape of the 19th century. He also discusses the relevance of these movements to contemporary society and the ongoing debates about the nature of knowledge, science, and the universe.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Outlines of Cosmic Philosophy V2, by John Fiske.
