The author’s attention is focused on the creative heritage of M. M. Prishvin, considered in the context of the noospheric constructions of Russian cosmism. It is shown that the basis of the worldview of the writer (scientific in its origins) is the orientation towards “personal perception of nature”, as well as his anthropology unfolds in the “doctrine of the All-Human”. The specificity of M. M. Prishvin’s naturalism, organically combining science and art, through the ability to “instantly grasp the world as a whole” is revealed. The childishness (“baby in the soul”) as a necessary filter for the perception of the world, which “methodological” sets the ideal of “living knowledge” as a synthesis of rationalism and intuitionism is shown. The conclusion about the dual nature of man, dialectically connects nature struggle and nature conservation, is made.
Key words: personality of nature, All-Human, childishness, “living knowledge”, science vs. art, nature-human creation, the transition of biosphere into
noosphere, nature struggle, nature conservation.
