edit data

Alexandr Bogdanov (1873-1928) was born Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Malinowski at Sokolka, in what was then Russian Poland. He was a man who turned his hand to almost everything. Trained as a physician, he was also an economist, politician, revolutionary (rival of Lenin), philosopher, science fiction author, poet, and scientist. His work on organizational science foreshadowed present developments in that field and cybernetics. In Moscow, in 1926, he founded the world’s first institute devoted entirely to blood transfusion. Two years later, ironically, he died as a result of a transfusion experiment gone wrong.

Quotes by Alexandr Bogdanov (?)

“Your love is like murder.”
― Alexander Bogdanov

14 likes

“Life's monumental progress and humanity's energies are always accompanied with the massive expansion of social contrasts and contradictions.
It is not hard to understand just how great the significance is of anything that brings a bit of order into this chaos, anything that introduces some organization or contains this disharmony - in other words, the significance of anything that acts as a coercive norm. This is why social creativity in this sphere unfolds with immense energy and gives rise to an immense wealth of forms. It is a result of the harsh necessities of life.”

“Scientific and technical rules are one typical example of pragmatic norms. These rules do not coerce anyone to do anything. They only point out more useful ways to reach a specific goal. Their imperative is contingent and hypothetical. Externally coercive norms impose on a person his very goals, or, at the very least, the limits of these goals. Pragmatic norms offer a choice.”
