The Embodiment of the Ideas of Russian Cosmism in the Ergodesign of the Life Environment

Aim. To comprehend the embodiment of the ideas of Russian cosmism in the ergo-design of the environment of life. Methodology. The author drew the main initial scientific knowledge from the research of the Bryansk Scientific and Philosophical School of Socio-technological Development of the world, using interdisciplinary, systemic, socio-technological, historical and ergo-centric approaches, as well as general scientific methods. Results. The analysis showed that Russian cosmism, which is a unique philosophical trend focused on the integration of human with space and nature, had a significant impact on the formation of a new scientific direction in the design of the living environment – ergo-design. Today, ergo-design is an approach that seeks to harmonize human interaction with other elements of the system through the creation of comfortable and safe living conditions. The main goal of ergo-design, based on the ideas of Russian cosmism, is to create ergonomic, ecologically balanced living spaces at the global, national and local levels, which, in turn, contributes to the harmonization of social and natural processes. However, in the context of global challenges, a reconsideration of the ergo-design methodology is required. Its vector should shift towards the design of not just ecologically balanced spaces, but a biosphereoriented object-spatial environment of vital activity, which is based on nature-like systems, products and technologies. Only such transformation of ergo-design can lead to the harmonization of society, the technosphere and the biosphere. The article explores the systemic principles of ergo-design, reveals its importance for modern design and examines its cultural and philosophical aspects, as well as the features that make ergo-design an important tool for harmonizing living conditions in a complex sociotechnological world. Research implications. The article provides a formation of a socio-philosophical approach to understanding the role of Russian cosmism in the ergo-design of harmonious subject-spatial socio-technological and natural environments of life.
