He also discusses the role of science and technology in cosmism, as well as the ways in which the philosophy has influenced other fields, such as art and literature.Throughout the book, d'Alviella draws on a wide range of sources, including the writings of prominent cosmists such as Nikolai Fyodorov and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, as well as contemporary scholarship on Russian philosophy and culture.
