TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Kardashev on Civilizations in Cosmological Context
Friday 25 April 2025 is the 93rd anniversary of the birth of Nikolai Semenovich Kardashev (25 April 1932 – 03 August 2019), who was born in Moscow 93 years ago on this date in 1932.
Kardashev will be remembered for his civilization types long after the science of his time is viewed as archaic and of only historical interest. This is a concept that transcends contemporaneous debates and postulates a standard of cosmological significance. But to understand what Kardashev was getting at, we have to read him carefully.
