Abstract

The article discusses some theoretical principles of the philosophy of Rural cosmism, introducing practical tools for the proposed rural paradigm. Among the methods of realization of the Rural cosmism the author cites regional studies, genealogical, social, scientific, educational, museum and other empiric activities aimed at the creation of conditions for sustainable existence and development of rural forms of life in modern society in the long run. The paper views regional studies and genealogy as projective and creative effective manifestation. It also discusses a number of aspects of Russian cosmism philosophy, including the views of Russian philosopher N. F. Fedorov in the context of Rural cosmism paradigm. The author identifies issues and possible dangers of creating an efficient agglomeration world and disappearing of the culture of inhabited rural space attempting to elaborate the concept of consolidated rural world, claiming the implementation of mutually beneficial activities of the members of rural society. The article examines a complex museumification of the countryside as one of the fundamental tools of Rural cosmism. It also introduces a practical example of creating a Museum of Rural cosmism in the village of Skomovo, Gavrilovo-Posad district of the Ivanovo region, with characteristics of the main exhibition features and thematic areas of the Museum and concludes with addressing the issues of integration of modern scientific knowledge in rural education.
