Life And Works

Abstract

Such criticism sounds, at the very least, unconvincing, since earlier, in 1927, Lev Semenovich had written: We must determine what we can, and must, get from Marxism …. The teachers of Marxism can give us not the solution to a question, not even working hypotheses (since they have their roots in the soil of the particular science), but a method for constructing such hypotheses. I do not want to find out what the mind can gather on a free ride through a pair of quotation marks; I want to learn the whole of Marx's method, how to build a science, how to approach the study of the mind … What we need is not disconnected statements, but a method.
