Philosophy in the USSR: Problems of Dialectical Materialism

Translated from the Russian by Robert Daglish. — Moscow: Progress Publishers, 1977. — 268 p. Written by a team of prominent Soviet philosophers, this book reflects the contribution made by Soviet thought to the solution of both traditional philosophical problems and those that face philosophy today. Not only will the reader obtain much accurate and objective information about the philosophical concepts evolved by Marx, Engels and Lenin and their contemporary creative development; he will also be able to see for himself how wrong are the assertions that a gap exists between their ideas based on dialectical materialism and the problems of contemporary philosophy.
