Abstract

The practical turn in cosmological discourse is explicated in the contests of actual post-secular tendencies with their searching for new worldview orientations in research practices of cosmology and self-understanding of human as active and passive actor in space explorations. The interdependence of cosmological and ethical discourse within their educational possibilities is analyzed on materials of universal and suffering ethics emphasizing of imperatives of responsibility and reverence for life. The educational potential of cosmological studies is explicated with their contribution to new planetary spiritual culture required for preventing of planetary ecological crisis. The distinction between astronomy and astrology is showed on the borders of cosmological discourse and in educational practices.

Key words: cosmology, practice, ethics, education, human, heaven, universe, Earth, ecology
