Dialectical Materialism And History Of Philosophy by T. O. Oizerman

Posted on October 17, 2024 by The Mitr

These essays on the history or philosophy deal, above all with methodology. They also examine world outlook, because a Marxist study of the history of philosophy must analyze the relation of dialectical materialism to the philosophy that preceded it

The principal objective of this book is to use the study of certain aspects of methodology and of dialectical idealism to outline the fundamental role the dialectical-materialist theory of the history of philosophy plays in shaping the world outlook. A comprehensive analysis of that theory is certainly relevant, and its importance transcends the bounds of a purely historical study of philosophy.

A Concise Psychological Dictionary by A. V. Petrovsky (Ed.); M. G. Yaroshevsky (Ed.)

Posted on October 15, 2024 by The Mitr

This dictionary is intended for a wide range of readers seeking information on concepts used in modern psychology. The entries embrace the main branches of psychology, theoretical trends and concepts, methods of psychological research, and major aspects of the history of psychology. Because of its concise form, many special notions from engineering and medical psychology, pathopsychology, psychophysics,and other branches of psychological knowledge are not included in the dictionary, while others may be found in more general entries. Italicised cross-references will help the reader to find relevant entries with fuller information on the subject of interest.

The dictionary does not include terms which, though used in psychological literature, actually belong to other branches of knowledge, such as philosophy, pedagogy, anatomy, and physiology. This information may be found in special encyclopaedias and dictionaries.

Subject, Object, Cognition by V. A. Lektorsky

Posted on October 14, 2024 by The Mitr

The present work attempts, first, to sum up the studies in this field of both the author himself14 and of other Soviet specialists in epistemology, and, second, to analyse a number of aspects of the given problem that are of a general and fundamental nature and at the same time have not been sufficiently studied in Soviet literature. We shall try to specify and consider here the mam types of conceptions of the cognitive relation, of the subject-object relationship, i.e., the various modes of formulation and discussion of the basic epistemological themes. Our objective is a clear formulation of those conditions of studying this problem which ensure the fruitfulness and scientific quality of the theoretical quest on the basis of the dialectical materialist epistemology and at the same time accord with the specificity of the cognitive situation created by the development of modern science.

Vladislav Lektorsky, D. Sc. (Philosophy), is head of the Epistemological Sector, Institute of Philosophy of the USSR Academy of Sciences. His scholarly Interests range wide, covering dialectical logic, the methodology of science, history of philosophy, psychology of knowledge, etc. He has published scores of papers and books on these subjects that were highly appreciated by scholars. A number of his papers have appeared in foreign scientific publications.

Philosophy And Sociology by G. P. Frantsov

Posted on October 13, 2024 by The Mitr

G. P. Frantsov’s Philosophy and Sociology presents a broad historical panorama of the development of mankind’s philosophical and sociological thinking over the centuries and shows how forward-looking social thinkers sought the answers to the basic questions of social progress until these were provided by Marxism-Leninism.

This is a profound and creative philosophical and sociological analysis of the basic laws of transition from capitalism to socialism, of the socialist revolution. the construction of socialism and communism, and of scientific, technical, spiritual and moral progress. This is also a critical analysis of the historical evolution and contemporary state of bourgeois philosophical and sociological thought.

A Dictionary For Believers And Non Believers

Posted on October 12, 2024 by The Mitr

In the whole of human history it is unlikely that any writings have been the subject of so much controversy as the Bible, the Koran and various sacred books of other religions.
Religious thinkers often present them as the source
of absolute and infallible truth Some people turn to religion when they search after absolute, infallible truth, but what is religion? What views of religion are to be found among believers and non-believers?
This Dictionary is designed to help the reader find out about the role of religion in the history of mankind, about the world religions (Christianity, Buddhism and Islam), about religions peculiar to specific peoples such as Judaism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Shintoism. The Dictionary
contains over 2,400 entries. Readers can glean information from it about the link between religion and primitive beliefs (e g magic, totemism, animism), about the evolution of religious-idealist theories and about the present-day theological and religlous-cum-philosophical movements.
