Oizerman Teodor, Bogomolov Alexei. Principles of the Theory of the Historical Process in Philosophy

Translated by H. Campbell Creighton. — Moscow: Progress Publishers, 1983. — 359 p.In 1967 the first international symposium on methodological problems of the history of philosophy was held in Moscow, on the initiative of Soviet philosophers. Other symposiums on these matters have been held since in several other socialist countries, in which Soviet philosophers have regularly taken part. The methodological studies in this field have not, of course, exhausted the analysis of the principles of Marxist study of various philosophic theories. The work of recent years has been mainly devoted to a detailed clarification of the specific features of philosophic knowledge, and of the specific patterns of the evolution of philosophy. This new stage in methodological studies can be described as development of the theory of the historical process in philosophy.1 The need for them is particularly obvious in the light of the task of a theoretical generalisation of the history of philosophy posed by Lenin as one of the conditions for comprehensive development of the theory of knowledge of Marxism.Preface to this book has been written by Academician T.
