The ilyenkov triangle: Marxism in Search of its Philosophical Roots

Abstract

Studying the phenomena of the ideal, Evald Ilyenkov checks every important step in his thinking with Hegel and Spinoza. Their philosophical teachings form the foundation for the triangle of "dialectical logic, " at the peak of which is Marx with his method of "ascending to the concrete. " This work will carry out a comparison of the conceptions of Ilyenkov and Western European Marxists along the "Hegel-Spinoza " line.
