Title: Planetary Project
Author: Alexsandr V. Bezgodov
Publisher: XLibrisUK
Genre: Political Science
Format: Ebook
This monograph discusses current global economic and social issues. It describes the essence of the Planetary Project, based on the critique of the Concept of Sustainable Development. A model is proposed for solving global problems through global human unification aimed at saving the planet Earth from future cataclysms and catastrophe for present and future generations. The Planetary Project is in essence a paradigm of the world’s harmonious development. It is based on an integrated economy and rent incomes from planetary and intellectual resources held in planetary ownership. The Planetary Project provides solutions to globalisation problems caused by unrestrained economic growth and one-sided development of some national economies. The Planetary Project proposes a just system of world income distribution including rent revenues from planetary resources. This distribution system will work in the interests of all countries, including Asian and African countries, some of which experience serious socio-economic problems. New planetary economic resources and mechanisms will be able to: save the Earth’s biosphere; improve its ecology; and free humanity from hunger, epidemic diseases, and the threat of a Third World War. They will help people unite in the name of universal values of life, the harmony between civilisation and nature, and the welfare of present and future generations. Developing Planetary Project ideas could lead to creating a serious research tradition and a wide life-affirming and peace-loving social movement.

Question1- How did you
come up with the title of your book?
Specifically, we did not
have to invent it. Simply, we simultaneously put in the title the main idea of
the book, the essence of its design and the movement towards its disclosure.
The initial working hypothesis of our research consisted in the assumption that
in the philosophical legacy of the Russian cosmists we will be able to find the
beginnings of planetary ethics. Not just ideas, sprouts, namely, the beginning
in the meaning of the sources-primary. The notion of "beginning"
(Στοιχεῖα, Elementa, Origins) in this sense is a textbook in classical works on
philosophy, physics, and mathematics. For example, the "Elements" of
Euclid, "The Beginning of Philosophy" by Rene Descartes, Edmond
Husserl's "The Beginning of
Geometry." This classic term indicates a directed work to find and
describe the load-bearing structures of thought - in our case - ethical
thoughts.
Question2- What is your
writing environment like?
The environment,
environment, tools, technologies - all should contribute to the processes of
immersion in the topic, thinking through the problems studied, the formation of
their own ideas, their arguments and presentation. The order and functionality
of the working environment and its comfort are important.
Writing, intellectual
and artistic creativity is a game on the subtle settings of one's soul, so the
process itself should bring pleasure, the result is satisfaction, and the
working environment is to provide these effects.
Question3- What are some
of the best tools available today for writers?
It is always useful to
write down your thoughts exactly the moment they come. This will insure against
losing your ideas and painful attempts to remember what, when and in what
connection it occurred to you.
Another interesting tool
is fixing your maximally free flow of your consciousness, playing associations,
skipping ahead, sketches of future plot designs. It is important to determine
the temporality of its working rhythm and the most fruitful time for writing
the day. By the way, this can change with age and even depend on where the work
is going on. For some people, the first few hours after awakening may be the
most effective, and for others it may be night time.
Question4 – What
inspires you to write?
First of all, the
Russian cosmists inspired themselves, whose penetrating thought is alive and
fresh for us. Their brave daring of truth, bold break of worldview patterns,
originality and providentiality. Their consonance with our mood and inner
peace. And, of course, nature inspired the great gift of the cosmos with its
beauty, generosity and the ability to be a wonderful home for us, wherever we
are. Introduction and most of the chapters were written in Dubai (United Arab
Emirates), and the book was completed in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad
region.
Question5 – Did you
learn anything while writing this book?
Of course! Any
creativity, first of all, research, intellectual - is not only creative, but
also knowledge. Cosmism is a grandiose phenomenon of not only domestic, but
also world culture. Studying the legacy of the cosmists presupposes the
loosening of many strata of philosophical and scientific thought of the Ancient World, the Middle Ages,
the Renaissance, the New Age. Cosmism is rich in references to Hinduism and Buddhism,
classical antiquity, early Christianity, European rationalism and mysticism.
Working with this material, you inevitably meet something new for yourself.
Question6- What is your
favorite quality about yourself?
Most of all - the
ability to catch up with the topic, get carried away by the project, see the
results (even when they are not yet there), as well as discipline and
diligence. The main thing is to feel organically and comfortably in the mode of
reading-thinking-writing. The least is "sticking" on some separate
sources of information, an unconquered habit of being distracted by something
extraneous.
