Introduction. Evolution and Big History: From Multiverse to Galactic Civilizations.
P. 5–19.
A macroevolutionary approach and the new field of Big History seek to develop an inclusive view of the Cosmos, Earth, life and humanity by erasing boundaries between disciplines. Big History is a versatile study that brings together constantly updated information from Astronomy, Physics, Geology, Biology, Chemistry, Anthropology, Psychology and other scientific disciplines, and then merges it with the contemplative realms of Philosophy and the Humanities. Big History evolved from the academic need to transcend the straight-jacket of university disciplines in the early 20th century, beginning with subjects like Biochemistry and Astrophysics (Christian and McNeill 2008; Rodrigue and Stasko 2011).

The article examines the project of a new scientific discipline, ethnosophy, which was proposed by the Africanist V.R. Arseniev (1948–2010) and emerged at the intersection of ethnographic knowledge and philosophy. The features of V.R. Arseniev’s worldview that led him to the idea of a new science are noted: the study of archaic societies; anticolonialism; criticism ...

~520 million years ago, the long biogeochemical history of our planet Earth resulted in a biodiversity burst. The rapid diversification of animals known as the Cambrian explosion (1); transformed planetary ecosystems with novel habitats and food chains (2, 3). However, this emergence of Paleozoic biodiversity (4) is still mysterious due to limited information about basal metazoans ...

Building on foundational work in systems theory, thermodynamics, and evolutionary theory, this paper argues that complexity can serve as a conceptual bridge across disciplines. It explores the role of complexity dynamics in Big History through an integrative theoretical framework that spans physical, chemical, geological, biological, social, cognitive, and civilizational domains. By examining how complexity emerges, ...

The paper examines the issue of the humane in the human being in the context of the dialectic between ideals and reality. Reflecting on discussions about human essence leads to the conclusion of its inherent indeterminacy and the multiplicity of potential capabilities within each individual, which develop throughout life. The distinction between ideal and reality ...

An important question in cogntive and evolutionary psychology is how the human mind anticipates the future and copes with stress and risk of disease. The parasite-stress model suggests that many patterns of human behavior and thought are adaptations to varying levels of exposure to parasites and pathogens. A growing body of health psychology research shows ...

Journeying is one of the oldest practices in the world culture.

The semantics of journey can be represented in geometric forms – vectors or circular movements. It can ...

This volume, “Navigating Complexity in Big History—Exploring Periodization Across Cosmic and Biosocial Dimensions” explores the aspects and proposals for periodization of Big History. This includes considering cross-cutting aspects of measuring complexity (e.g., energy, information, or a combination), considering different mechanisms of natural selection, developing a set of criteria to base the evaluation of frameworks, and ...

The point that within the Big History the decelerating growth of complexity in the Universe observed after the Big Bang can be contrasted with the accelerating growth of complexity traced on our planet for four billion years after the emergence of life on the Earth has been already noticed on quite a number of occasions. ...

“The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things which lifts human life a little above the level of farce and gives it some of the grace of tragedy”. These words of Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg undoubtedly deserve attention, although they dramatize the origins of interest in the problems of the Universe. ...

Not so many would argue with identifying complexity as a central concept in Big History and universal evolutionism. It is partly because, perhaps, today, many of us are convinced that not only our world but Universe itself is in a state of major change, and the awareness that we are living in a period of ...
