Reihe: Historical Materialism Book Series

Evald Ilyenkov is a unique figure among the many interesting (and many dull) Soviet thinkers that have recently been introduced to English-speaking readers. Although a thoroughly academic philosopher (both in the choice of his subject matter and in his institutional locations), Ilyenkov’s ideas are presented in a manner that one does not often find among academics. Texts selected for this collection are not the only texts dedicated to Hegel and dialectics but they are representative of Ilyenkov’s main themes and interests. It is hoped that this collection will continue to draw interest to the Soviet engagement with Hegel and dialectics.

Über Autor(innen)

Evald Ilyenkov (1924–1979) was an important Soviet Marxist thinker who worked on a number of topics related to materialist dialectics and philosophy as a science of laws and categories of thinking. In 1953 Ilyenkov defended his dissertation on the issues of materialist dialectics in Marx’s Grundrisse where he investigated matters that gave rise to a new direction in Marxist philosophy – dialectical logic. In the 1960s Ilyenkov published several original studies dedicated to the categories of ‘the abstract and the concrete’ in Marx’s Capital as well as works related to dialectics, nature of thinking, art and communist ideal.
