Project of V.N. Muravyev: Eutopia or Solvable Problem

The article considers a project of V.N.Muravyev: his representation of ideal future and ways of achievement of this ideal. The analysis of projectivism as an aspect of Russian philosophy is provided; the existence of “project philosophy” is problematized. The aim of the article is the analysis of V. Muravyev project, the research into the possibility of its realization using given methods. The primary question raised in this article is whether it is possible to resuscitate the past, prolong it into the future, carrying to it the most valuable things that have been at the humanity’s disposal? Author states a close link with a project of N.F. Fedorov, Muravyev’s predecessor. In his works, the main ideas of the philosophy of «Common Cause» are transformed and supplemented with the idea of «conquest of time». Muravyev’s project represents an ideal of the future which he develops using his own methodology of application of values of cosmism (and projectivism) based on the latter of Fedorov.
