Abstract
Aim. To analyze the essence of Nikolai Fedorov's concept of supramoralism, reconstruct its socio-political essence, identify its key foundations and describe their interrelationship.
Methodology. The main research method is political-textual analysis. The study is based on Fedorov's works, writings of his contemporaries and modern researches on Russian cosmism.
Results. This paper demonstrates that supramoralism is based on three foundations: Orthodoxy, autocracy and brotherhood. Orthodoxy dictates the main goal of mankind – to form the brother union in the name of the resurrection of ancestors. To establish such a union, it is necessary to ensure a special structure of society, which is possible only under religious autocracy.
Research implications. The concept of supramoralism is structured and considered from the position of social and political sciences, its socio-political sounding is demonstrated.
