Abstract

The article deals with the concept of culture as a cosmocracy, which is put forward in the works of Valerian Muraviev, one of the leading representatives of the 1920s cosmism. It presents the evolution of Muraviev’s view on the phenomenon of culture from the early articles to the philosophical mysteries “Sophia and the Centaur” and “The Culture of the Future.” The connection of Muraviev’s constructions with the projective philosophy of Nikolay Fedorov, the ancestor of cosmism, with the idea of the antientropical essence of culture, which is characteristic of the representatives of cosmism, is shown.
