Zsekularyzowana nieśmiertelność — Nikołaj Fiodorow i Elon Musk

This article attempts to discuss the problem of immortality from two perspectives: that of the 19th-century Russian philosopher Nikolai Fyodorov and the 21st-century American billionaire Elon Musk. Both advocate achieving eternal life through technological progress, without the intervention of divine power. In the first part of the article, I present Fyodorov and those aspects of his thought that are directly related to the development of science. By presenting Musk, I examine how his actions correspond to his declarations, whether they are inspired by the literature he has read, and which of them align with Fyodorov’s postulates. I also consider the possible consequences of these chosen paths of development. I will also attempt to demonstrate that all of the billionaire’s actions are coherent. Finally, I will indicate the currently dominant approach to achieving immortality.
