SAPCRAA is a research center founded in 2023 with the ambitious vision of redefining the boundaries of academic research through radical interdisciplinarity and integrative methodology. We specialize in five primary areas: ancient philosophy, cosmology, religion, anthropology, and astrobiology. These disciplines, however, cannot be adequately studied in isolation from the broader context of human civilization and technological development. Therefore, we develop complementary research programs in the fields of history of science and technology, military strategies throughout the ages, political theories, and natural and social sciences.
We, SAPCRAA, were established in the 21st century as an interdisciplinary organization dedicated to anticipating and addressing the existential and civilizational challenges of the 22nd century. Our foundation rests on the fundamental human imperative to seek systematic, evidence-based responses to the enduring questions of existence. Throughout history, humanity has exponentially expanded its body of knowledge across time and space, progressively alleviating terrestrial suffering - one of the most monumental collective endeavors ever undertaken. The core question remains: how can we design and sustain conditions of existence that are humane, dignified, and increasingly autonomous?
The French-Algerian philosopher Albert Camus, in The Rebel, argues that the structure of the world dehumanizes us by imposing absurd and degrading conditions upon life, which the conscious mind refuses to accept unconditionally. Across the spectrum of scientists, philosophers, and social theorists, a shared aspiration emerges: to transcend those conditions that inflict profound suffering on individuals, communities, and entire civilizations. Mikhail Bulgakov, in his unparalleled The Master and Margarita, vividly depicts these absurd existential constraints, emphasizing not merely mortality but its sudden, unpredictable character - rendering human life precarious and the continuity of tomorrow inherently uncertain. Fyodor Dostoevsky, in his major novels, probes the intrinsic contradictions of human experience: moments of apparent fulfillment repeatedly dissolve into humiliation and loss. These diverse articulations converge on a single underlying problem: how can humanity overcome the multitude of limitations - biological, social, epistemic, and ontological - that constrain its potential? Among the principal contradictions and constraints are: the inevitability and unpredictability of death; pervasive existential suffering; systemic dehumanization; cognitive and perceptual boundaries; epistemological limits on understanding reality.
Yet SAPCRAA, like the cumulative human enterprises that precede it, stands as testimony to an alternative reality - one defined by refusal to accept these limitations as immutable. The seven letters of our name symbolize the commitment of countless individuals, institutions, and initiatives—private and public—that share our axiomatic ideals: relentless pursuit of knowledge, methodological rigor, and ethical advancement. Accordingly, SAPCRAA assumes maximal responsibility for formulating adequate, intellectually robust responses grounded in this emergent reality. We align ourselves with the global alliance of researchers, scholars, universities, and scientific bodies dedicated to producing those answers. As part of this collective endeavor, SAPCRAA aims to ensure that, when the defining questions of the 21st century are resolved, our contributions will have exerted measurable influence on the triumphant narrative humanity will tell itself in the near future. At the center of our wager lies the conviction in the ultimate triumph of human potential.
The primary vision of our organization is the emergence of the autonomous human being of tomorrow - an individual and a species that transcend the narrow labyrinths of innate limitations. As history has progressed, we have mastered increasingly complex systems. The growing multidimensionality and sophistication of human society, driven by technological and intellectual advancement, results in an expansion of effective freedom. SAPCRAA exists to push the freedoms of the individual, society, and the species toward their logical maxima. We have progressively enlarged the available sphere of liberties - from the rights to life, property, expression, and scientific inquiry, to economic agency - and are approaching what may prove the most consequential: the freedom to select the conditions of existence itself. No longer passively subjected to “absurd” preconditions (as past philosophers described them), humanity will, through accumulated knowledge, refined methods, and advanced technology, attain mastery over objective reality sufficient to render those conditions a matter of deliberate choice. Such ambition demands a robust intellectual infrastructure. SAPCRAA serves as the agora of our era: a forum of open, peer-level discourse among equals. Before freedom can be expanded, knowledge must be broadened; before knowledge can be broadened, a meeting place for rigorous minds is required. Thus, SAPCRAA stands as home and sanctuary for all individuals worldwide - regardless of origin - who pursue the same mission and vision we uphold.
The final pillar of our mission is the delineation of future trajectories. Given our commitment to reducing the aggregate burden of suffering, ignorance, and fear while expanding freedom, autonomy, and understanding, SAPCRAA positions itself as a voluntary vanguard of humanity. Our objective is systematic exploration into all domains of the unknown. This constitutes a coordinated, multi-level offensive against the frontiers of existence - diminishing the extent of “empty quarters” in every direction: ocean depths, desert expanses, cosmic voids, and the uncharted regions of personal and collective unconscious. As Elon Musk has observed, we may be the sole conscious entities in the observable universe - a rare and precious instantiation of awareness, a fragile candle in an ocean of unconsciousness. Our trajectories therefore lead toward the Mariana Trench and Taklamakan alike, and to every analogous frontier. This is a deliberate, organized advance of consciousness into the unconscious, rooted in the conviction that knowledge extracted from these intellectual voids will materially diminish human suffering.
In sum, SAPCRAA extends an open invitation to all free minds to voluntarily participate in the forthcoming triumphs of our species.

The Society for Ancient Philosophy, Cosmology, Religion, Anthropology and Astrobiology represents a unique scientific research organization dedicated to the systematic study of the foundations of human knowledge and civilizational achievements. Founded in 2023 as the result of years of efforts by a group of distinguished scientists, philosophers and researchers, the Society emerged from the recognized need for an institution that would bridge the gap between classical humanistic disciplines and contemporary natural sciences. The initiative for its establishment arose from the consensus of the academic community that indicated the necessity of creating a platform for the integrated study of fundamental questions about the nature of reality, human knowledge and civilizational processes. Our organization brings together over 270 active members from 42 countries, including researchers, academic staff, master's students, emeritus professors, postdoctoral fellows and doctoral candidates who recognize the value of an interdisciplinary approach in understanding complex phenomena. The Society's headquarters is located in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through its extensive network of international collaborators and institutional partnerships, the Society facilitates cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of ideas that transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries. By fostering rigorous scholarship alongside open intellectual inquiry, the organization aspires to contribute meaningfully to humanity's evolving understanding of its origins, place in the cosmos, and the enduring questions that have shaped civilizations across millennia.
Our approach is based on a rigorous methodology that combines traditional humanistic methods with quantitative approaches of the natural sciences. We have developed a unique methodological framework that enables critical analysis of historical sources along with their contextualization through the prism of contemporary scientific knowledge. This approach, which we call \"integrated epistemology,\" is based on several key principles: methodological pluralism that recognizes the validity of different ways of knowing, critical realism that insists on the existence of objective reality accessible to scientific research, contextual sensitivity that respects cultural and historical specificities, and transdisciplinarity that transcends traditional academic divisions. In our work, we apply sophisticated analytical techniques that include comparative text analysis, archaeological verification of historical data, statistical modeling of social processes, computer simulations of cosmological models, hermeneutic interpretation of philosophical and religious texts, and ethnographic field research. We pay special attention to developing new methodological tools that enable the synthesis of qualitative and quantitative data, which represents one of our key contributions to contemporary science. This commitment to methodological innovation ensures that our research remains both intellectually rigorous and adaptive to emerging fields of inquiry, positioning the Society at the forefront of efforts to unify fragmented domains of knowledge into a coherent and comprehensive scholarly enterprise.
The central mission of the Society is the protection and preservation of civilizational achievements through nurturing an intellectual tradition based on critical thinking and the scientific method. In an era of information oversaturation, technological singularity and rapid social transformations, we consider it essential that freedom of critical thinking be affirmed as the foundation of scientific and social progress. Our vision is to create a global center of excellence that will be recognized as a leading institution in the field of integrated studies of human knowledge and civilizational processes. The Society acts as a platform where established paradigms can be questioned, fundamental questions about the nature of reality can be posed, and answers can be sought through systematic research. In doing so, we insist on intellectual rigor, methodological consistency and openness to new interpretations, always respecting the principles of scientific skepticism. Our core values include: intellectual honesty and integrity in all aspects of research work, transparency in methodology and presentation of results, collaboration and knowledge sharing, respect for diversity of perspectives and approaches, social responsibility and engagement, and commitment to the highest ethical standards in science. We particularly emphasize our commitment to the principle of academic freedom, which we consider a prerequisite for authentic scientific research. At a time when academic institutions are often limited by administrative, political or economic pressures, the Society provides a space for free research and expression of scientific views, always respecting the principles of scientific methodology and ethics. Furthermore, the Society is deeply committed to cultivating the next generation of scholars by encouraging mentorship, open dialogue and the transmission of knowledge across academic generations, ensuring that the values of critical inquiry endure well beyond the tenure of any individual member. We believe that the pursuit of truth is not merely an academic exercise but a moral imperative — one that demands courage, humility and an unwavering dedication to following evidence wherever it may lead. It is through this principled commitment that the Society seeks to leave a lasting imprint on the broader landscape of human understanding, contributing not only to the advancement of scholarship but to the betterment of society as a whole
Although the Society's name refers to classical disciplines, our research focus encompasses a significantly broader spectrum of scientific fields. This expansion is not accidental, but stems from a deeply considered conviction that all areas of human knowledge are interconnected and that their integrated study enables a deeper understanding of both universal laws and the specifics of human experience. We study the natural sciences through the prism of their historical development and philosophical implications. We address questions such as: how ancient astronomical observations influenced the development of modern astrophysics, what parallels can be drawn between ancient atomistic theories and quantum mechanics, and how traditions of natural philosophy can inform contemporary debates about the nature of reality. Our researchers work on projects that explore mathematical structures in ancient texts, the development of the scientific method through history, and the epistemological foundations of the natural sciences.
In our approach, the social sciences are not isolated from humanistic disciplines. We explore how philosophical concepts shape social structures, how religious systems influence economic models, and how cosmological beliefs determine political systems. We pay special attention to the sociology of knowledge, studying how scientific paradigms develop, transform and replace each other throughout history. Our projects include comparative studies of social systems, analysis of technology's impact on social transformations, and research into the role of elites in shaping knowledge. Cosmology represents one of our central areas of interest. We study not only contemporary cosmological models, but also the historical development of cosmological ideas from the earliest civilizations to the present day. We explore how different cultures have conceptualized the origin and structure of the universe, what the philosophical implications of contemporary cosmological theories are, and how cosmological knowledge affects human self-understanding. Our researchers work on projects that connect ancient cosmologies with modern physics, explore anthropic principles in cosmology, and analyze the impact of cosmological discoveries on philosophy and theology. Geopolitics in our approach is not just the study of contemporary international relations, but a deep analysis of civilizational processes that shape global power dynamics. We explore how geographical factors influence the development of civilizations, how historical patterns repeat in contemporary geopolitical constellations, and how cultural and religious factors shape international relations. We pay special attention to studies of imperial dynamics, analysis of civilizational cycles, and forecasting future geopolitical trends based on historical patterns.
War and peace studies represent a critical component of our work. Analyzing war as an anthropological constant and peace as a civilizational ideal, we explore the deep causes of conflicts, mechanisms of escalation and de-escalation, and conditions for sustainable peace. Our projects include comparative studies of war strategies throughout history, analysis of technology's impact on the nature of war, research into the role of ideology in conflicts, and development of conflict prevention models. We are particularly focused on hybrid forms of warfare in the 21st century and their implications for international law and ethics. We study law as a manifestation of deeper philosophical and ethical principles. We explore how legal systems develop through history, how different legal traditions conceptualize justice, and how universal principles manifest through particular legal systems. Our researchers work on projects that analyze the relationship between natural and positive law, explore the influence of religious traditions on legal systems, and study the transformation of law in the context of globalization and technological change.
In our approach, economics is not just a technical discipline, but a field deeply connected with philosophical, ethical and anthropological questions. We explore how different civilizations organize the production and distribution of resources, how economic ideas develop through history, and what the philosophical assumptions of contemporary economic theories are. We pay special attention to alternative economic models, ethical dimensions of economic systems, and the relationship between economics and ecology. By examining the interplay between material conditions and the ideational frameworks that shape economic thought, the Society endeavors to recover dimensions of economic inquiry that have been neglected by mainstream discourse, ultimately advocating for models that harmonize human prosperity with ecological sustainability and civilizational continuity.
The applied research program focuses on the practical application of our theoretical insights. We collaborate with governments, international organizations and the private sector on projects that require a deep understanding of complex social processes. Our experts provide consulting services in the areas of strategic analysis, cultural diplomacy, knowledge management and organizational development. We are particularly proud of our contribution to the development of new educational curricula that integrate classical and contemporary disciplines. Publishing activity represents a key component of our work. We publish three international scientific journals: Cosmological and Astrobiological Review: Journal for the Study of the Universe, Life and Natural Sciences, Critical Reflections: A Journal of Philosophy and Social Sciences, Military Studies: Journal for Strategy, Technology and Defense Sciences. Our publishing program annually publishes numerous scientific monographs, translations of classical works, critical editions with commentaries, and conference proceedings. The conferences and symposia we organize represent significant events in the academic calendar. Our annual conference \"Horizons of Knowledge\" brings together over 500 participants from around the world and represents a forum for presenting the latest research and exchanging ideas. In addition, we organize specialized symposia dedicated to specific topics, workshops for methodological improvement, and round tables on current issues.
The Society devotes special attention to education and the development of new generations of researchers, recognizing that the future of science depends on systematic investment in human resources. Our mentoring program represents one of the pillars of this commitment, connecting experienced researchers with young talents through a structured and comprehensive approach to professional development. Through individual mentoring work, group sessions and joint research projects, we enable the transfer of knowledge, methodological skills and experience between generations. Mentors provide support at all stages of academic development — from defining research questions and selecting methodology, through writing and publishing papers, to navigating the complexities of an academic career. The program also includes financial support through scholarships for studying abroad, grants for participation in international conferences, and training for obtaining academic and scientific titles in areas of interest and need. In addition to the formal mentoring program, we organize workshops for the development of research skills, seminars on academic writing and publishing, as well as training in research methodology, statistical analysis and the use of contemporary digital tools in scientific work. We believe that investing in young researchers is not only an obligation to the future of science, but also the best way to ensure the continuity and vitality of the interdisciplinary approach that lies at the heart of our Society's mission. To this end, the Society has established partnerships with universities and research institutions across multiple continents, creating pathways for emerging scholars to gain exposure to diverse academic traditions and methodological practices that enrich their intellectual formation. We also prioritize the development of soft skills essential to modern scholarship, including cross-cultural communication, collaborative project management and public engagement, recognizing that today's researchers must be equipped not only to produce knowledge but to effectively share it with both academic and broader audiences.
The Society actively collaborates with over 80 institutions worldwide, including international organizations (governmental and non-governmental) such as UNESCO, UN, European Union, World Bank and other institutions that recognize the value of our work. We participate in expert groups, provide consulting services and contribute to the development of evidence-based policies. Our international cooperation encompasses joint research projects, researcher exchanges, organization of international conferences and symposia, and co-publication of scientific papers with colleagues from around the world. We are particularly proud of the established bilateral agreements with universities and research centers in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa, which provide our members with access to international research resources, databases and laboratories. We also collaborate with the private sector through partnerships with companies interested in a deeper understanding of social trends, cultural factors and civilizational processes. Our insights help organizations develop long-term strategies, understand complex risks and seize opportunities in a turbulent global environment. We believe that science knows no borders and that the most significant contributions emerge precisely at the intersection of different cultures, traditions and perspectives — which is why we consider international cooperation not only a strategic priority, but also an essential part of our identity. In pursuit of this vision, the Society has launched several flagship initiatives designed to deepen and formalize its global presence, including regional research hubs that serve as local anchors for collaborative inquiry in underrepresented areas of the world. These hubs facilitate not only the exchange of scholarly expertise but also the documentation and preservation of indigenous knowledge systems that might otherwise be lost to the accelerating forces of globalization and cultural homogenization. We have also established a visiting scholars program that invites leading thinkers from partner institutions to spend extended periods working alongside our members, fostering the kind of sustained intellectual exchange that brief conference encounters cannot replicate.
In the next five-year period, the Society plans an ambitious expansion of its activities: establishing regional centers in Asia, Africa and Latin America to enable a truly global approach to researching human knowledge and civilizational processes. Each center will have autonomy in developing local research priorities while maintaining connectivity with the global network. A key component of this expansion strategy is our growing engagement in Southeast Asia, where we have already established active cooperation in all 12 countries of the region — Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea. Through partnerships with leading universities and research institutions across Southeast Asia, we are building a robust network that facilitates cross-cultural research, joint publications and academic exchanges. This region, with its extraordinary diversity of cultures, philosophical traditions, religious systems and historical experiences, represents a particularly fertile ground for the kind of interdisciplinary research that lies at the core of our mission. Our presence in Southeast Asia also opens new perspectives for comparative studies of civilizational processes, enabling researchers to examine parallels between ancient knowledge systems of this region and those of other parts of the world. We aim to ensure that voices and perspectives from every corner of the globe are represented in our publications and research projects, thereby enriching the global academic discourse and contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of humanity's shared intellectual heritage. Beyond geographic expansion, the Society is committed to deepening its thematic scope by launching dedicated research clusters focused on emerging areas of inquiry, including the intersections of artificial intelligence and ancient epistemologies, the philosophical implications of space exploration, and the role of indigenous cosmologies in contemporary environmental stewardship. We are also developing a comprehensive digital archive that will serve as an open-access repository for rare manuscripts, archaeological data and ethnographic records gathered through our global network, ensuring that invaluable scholarly resources are preserved and made available to researchers regardless of their institutional affiliation or geographic location. Strategic investment in multilingual publishing initiatives will further strengthen our reach, allowing the Society's research outputs to transcend linguistic barriers and engage audiences in their native languages across every continent. In parallel, we intend to deepen our policy engagement by establishing a dedicated advisory council composed of senior members and external experts, tasked with translating our research findings into actionable recommendations for governments, international organizations and civil society stakeholders. Taken together, these strategic goals reflect our unwavering belief that the challenges and questions facing humanity in the decades ahead demand not incremental adjustments but a fundamental reimagining of how knowledge is produced, shared and applied — a reimagining to which this Society is fully and resolutely dedicated.

Publishing represents the heart of our organization — a space where research passion is transformed into a lasting record that outlives its authors and the epochs in which it is created. As a curator at the frontiers of human inquiry, our publishing house does not merely aspire to publish scientific papers, but to carefully select, shape and present ideas that push the boundaries of what we know and what we dare to ask. Through three scientific journals and a growing library of books, we create a platform where the voices of researchers from around the world converge, bringing with them a diversity of perspectives, methodologies and intellectual traditions. Every manuscript that passes through our rigorous peer-review process is not simply a scientific contribution — it is a testament to the courage of an author who has ventured into uncharted territories of knowledge and offered insights that challenge established assumptions. Our editorial approach rests on the conviction that quality publishing is not a passive act of transmitting information, but an active process of intellectual curation that demands vision, discernment and a deep understanding of the academic landscape. We invest equal attention in content and form, because we believe that the manner in which knowledge is presented fundamentally influences how it is received, interpreted and applied within the broader scientific and social context. Our journals cover a spectrum of disciplines rarely found under a single publishing roof, thereby consciously dismantling barriers between fields that have for too long remained isolated from one another. The books we publish are not merely academic monographs — they are intellectual journeys that guide readers from ancient philosophical systems to the latest scientific discoveries, revealing unexpected connections between them. We devote special attention to authors from countries and regions that have been traditionally marginalized in global academic discourse, because we are deeply aware that truly significant ideas are born everywhere, not only in established academic centers. Our peer-review process is distinguished by its transparency, constructiveness and commitment to improving every work that comes into our hands, because we do not regard authors as mere manuscript submitters, but as partners in the shared endeavor of expanding the boundaries of knowledge. The digital transformation of publishing has opened new possibilities for distribution and accessibility, and we utilize these possibilities to the fullest — our publications are available to readers on every continent, in various formats and through open access that democratizes knowledge. At the same time, we preserve the value of the printed word as a material testament to intellectual effort, offering readers an experience that a digital screen cannot fully replace. Every journal issue and every published book is the result of months of dedicated work — from the first contact with the author, through multiple rounds of review and editing, to the final design and distribution — and we are equally proud of every step in that process. We invite researchers, thinkers and authors of all profiles to join us in this mission, whether as contributors, reviewers or readers, because we believe that the strength of a publishing house lies precisely in the community it gathers around itself. At the frontiers of human inquiry there are no definitive answers, but there are endless questions worth asking — and it is precisely those questions, recorded on the pages of our publications, that constitute our most valuable legacy to future generations.
