Evald Ilyenkov's philosophy revisited

Proceedings of the Ilyenkov symposium in Helsinki 7th and 8th September 1999.

Evald Ilyenkov (1924 - 1979) was an outstanding philosopher, whose ideas not only influenced profoundly the Soviet philosophy, but even left their mark on the discussions concerning the role of the dialectical method, the theoretical foundations of psychology and the philosophy of Marxism in general. This book is based on the selected materials presented twenty years after the death of Ilyenkov at an international symposium dedicated to Ilyenkov's theoretical heritage.
