Abstract

The article considerates the basic Chizhevskiy’s thoughts: the idea of the cosmic radiation influence on living organisms, air ionization concept found bringing in ionizer constructed them - "Chizhevskiy’s chandelier", ideas about linking the solar cycles with other astronomical factors. It is shown Chizhevskiy’s idea on the influence the cosmic rays on the live that he proved by statistical method, was developed in modern heliobiology, where they took a confirmation by current measurements. It was shown that the effect of the big changes of solar activity is not specific, and like a stress reaction to external stimuli. The idea of the planets influence on the solar cycle dynamics is actively discussed in the papers but it has not received sufficient evidence, nor was constructed a computable model of the Sun. From a philosophical point of view, Chizhevskiy’s ideas are holistic philosophy cosmism, denying the occasion and replaces the last action of the universal law of evolution.
