'''''A Cosmist Manifesto: Practical Philosophy for a Posthuman Age''''' is a 2010 book by [[Ben Goertzel]].

<blockquote>"The book is for everyone who likes thinking and understanding. For everyone who wants to understand their world, their mind, or their future. But it will go down most easily for the reader who’s already absorbed a bit of technofuturism --perhaps from reading modern SF writers like Vinge or Stephenson,  Stross or Broderick; or perhaps from the nonfiction works so Kurzweil, Broderick (again) or Drexler or other futurist pundits."<ref>Page xiii: "Who is this Book for?"</ref></blockquote>  

== Themes ==

<blockquote>"There's a lot to say about [[Cosmism]].   Among the many topics considered are [[AI]], [[nanotechnology]], [[uploading]], immortality, psychedelics, meditation, future social structures, PSI phenomenon, alien and cetacean intelligence and the [[Singularity]]. <br>The Cosmist perspective is shown to make plain old common sense of even the ''wildest future possibilities''."<ref>Back cover summary</ref></blockquote>

== Discussion ==
According to Ben, Cosmism advocates:
*pursuing [[Joy, Growth and Choice|joy, growth and freedom]] for oneself and all beings 
*ongoingly, actively seeking to better understand the universe and its multiple aspects, from a variety of perspectives
*taking nothing is axiomatic and accepting all ideas, beliefs and habits as open to revision based on thought, dialogue and experience<ref>Page 1: "What is Cosmism"</ref>
