Printing Details

First edition. Hardback in dustwrapper. 20.5 × 14cm, 128pp.

Translated from the Russian of Rosenthal and Yudin's Short Philosophic Dictionary, this reference book is unique in both style and its integrated world view. From the point of view of dialectical materialism, it analyses briefly the most important concepts, doctrines, and tendencies in the history of thought. The book also presents in short essay form definitions of important terms, factual information about philosophical trends and individual philosophers, and historical data. "This first handbook of Marxist philosophy answers a long-felt need for an inclusive volume which reveals the fundamental nature of dialectical materialism as a world view."
