Eternal Man. Reflections, Dialogues, Portraits by Bogat Evgeny

Posted on October 18, 2023 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Eternal Man. Reflections, Dialogues, Portraits by Bogat Evgeny.

About the book

In Eternal Man, the third book of a trilogy on man’s moral world (the two preceding works—Are Wicked Sorcerors Immortal? and Wonder—will be dealt with in retrospect in Eternal Man), I have tried.to capture the spiritual life of compatriots and contemporaries.

There is a fascinating passage in Marx which states that communism is impossible unless^ the riches of the past can be preserved. This has been the inspiration for my books on the spiritual world of modern Soviet man.

The individual who remains “eternal” bears the distinct, never-to-be-repeated mark of his epoch. Eternal Man is dedicated to the eternal in man and to the spirit of the present age, to their union and at times paradoxical interpenetration.

As I worked on this book I tried to imagine the faces of future readers. The faces I saw were laughing, frowning, and expressing either amazement or alarm. As facial expressions changed I saw something I especially appreciated—the obvious look of concentration from which new thoughts arise. I admire thoughtful faces, and when they appear before me I realize that a line or paragraph has succeeded. I wish only one thing: that my readers will think along with me.

A book is a house of fantastic dimensions. One may dwell there a while and leave, but one can also stay there forever without disturbing those who settled there earlier. I wrote this book dreaming about a reader who would live on here, with me, forever.

The book was translated from Russian by Christine Bushnell was published in by Progress Publishers.

History Of Ancient Philosophy Greece And Rome by A. S. Bogomolov

Posted on October 16, 2023 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book History Of Ancient Philosophy Greece And Rome by A. S. Bogomolov.

About the book

This book is primarily intended for students of the humanities,
but will also be found helpful in self-education. It consists of three parts, each serving the common purpose of providing a systematic exposition of ancient philosophers’
teachings.
Part I outlines the history of the early period of Greek philosophy.
Part I I familiarises the reader with its classical period,
Part I I I gives a brief survey of the Hellenic-Roman philosophy.
The founders of Marxism have repeatedly pointed out the
outstanding historical role of ancient culture in general and
ancient philosophy in particular. ” The Greeks will for ever remain
our teachers . . . ” ‘ ” Recent philosophy has only continued
the work begun by Heraclitus and Aristotle. “2 Marx and Engels
continually underlined the creative originality of ancient
Greek philosophy which had been the first to rise to the level
of the rational world outlook. The main fervour of its materialist
trend was invariably directed towards explaining nature
from nature itself, from the laws inherent in matter.
The historical importance of Greek philosophy also derives
from its unique contribution to the development of dialectics.
The first naive form of materialism was simultaneo,usly
a spontaneous dialectical concept of the world.
The Greeks’ own history of philosophical ideas illustrates
the profound revolutionary role of materialism. This history
which has provided classical examples of antagonism between
1 Karl Marx, ” Notebooks on Epicurean Philosophy”, in : Karl Marx,
Frederick Engels, Collected Works, Progress Publishers, Moscow, Vol. materialism and idealism clearly revealed the inevitability of
the split of all philosophers in a class society inte two big
camps. Speaking of the age-old struggle between the two
philosophical lines and underlining a class, partisan character
of the ideological battles in Greek p hilosophy Lenin asked:
“Could the struggle between materialism and idealism, the
struggle between the tendencies or lines of Plato and Democritus
in philosophy . . . have become antiquated during the two
thousand years of the development of philosophy? ” 1
Greek philosophy is a grand monument of human culture.
Its manifold forms, wrote Engels, “contain in embryo, in the
nascent state, almost all later modes of outlook on the world. “

Translated from the Russian Ьу Vladimir Stankevich
Designed Ьу Yuri Samsonov

The book was translated from Russian and was published in 1985 by Progress Publishers.

The Fate Of A Man by Mikhail Sholokhov

Posted on October 15, 2023 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book The Fate Of A Man by Mikhail Sholokhov.

About the book

“Fate of a Man” is a short story written by Soviet Russian writer Mikhail Sholokhov in 1956.

With the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the truck driver Andrey Sokolov has to leave for army and part with his family. In the first months of the war, he gets wounded and is captured by Nazis. In captivity, he experiences all the burdens of a concentration camp. Due to his courage he showed to camp’s chief when he refuses to drink with him to victory of Nazi arms, he avoids his execution and, finally, runs from Nazis. In a short vacation in his hometown, Sokolov finds out that his beloved wife Irina and both of their daughters were killed during the bombing. He immediately returns to the front, unable to stay in his native town any more. The only relative Andrey still has is his son, who serves as an officer in the army. Right on Victory Day, Andrey receives news that his son was killed on the last day of the war. After the war, lonely Andrei Sokolov doesn’t return to his town and works somewhere else. He meets a little boy Vanya, who was left an orphan. His mother died and his father missed in action. Sokolov tells the boy that he is his father, and this gives the boy (and himself) a hope for a new life.

The book was translated from Russian by Robert Daglish and was published in 1976 by Progress Publishers.

Main Trends In Philosophy by T. I. Oizerman

Posted on October 14, 2023 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Main Trends In Philosophy by T. I. Oizerman.

About the book

A Theoretical Analysis of the History of Philosophy

The aim of my book is to investigate the initial propositions of the history of philosophy. This concerns the basic philosophical question and the main trends and directions in philosophy, themes that are organically connected with one another; special study of them makes it possible to understand philosophy as law-governed developing knowledge whose final result is dialectical and historical materialism.

Formes Quadratiques Et Matrices par N. Éfimov

Posted on October 13, 2023 by The Mitr

Dans cet article, nous verrons le livre Formes Quadratiques Et Matrices par N. Éfimov.

À propos du livre

Le présent ouvrage est un supplément à notre cours à’Eléments

de géométrie analytique.

Le livre se compose de trois chapitres. Le premier chapitre

est consacré à la réduction à la forme canonique de l’équation générale

des coniques. L’exposé du matériel se fait essentiellement

à l ’aide de notions algébriques, sans recourir au calcul vectoriel

(exception faite de la notion de vecteur comme segment orienté

et de celle de projection d’un vecteur sur les axes de coordonnées).

Le problème de la théorie générale des coniques est résolu de

manière à permettre une généralisation immédiate au cas multidimensionnel.

En se bornant donc au cas bidimensionnel on pense

avoir élucidé l ’essentiel de la question.

Le deuxième chapitre traitant de la réduction à la forme canonique

de l’équation générale des quadriques est construit d’après

un schéma analogue.

L’objet du troisième chapitre sont les transformations linéaires

et les matrices. Ici, de même que dans les chapitres précédents,

on raisonne sur le cas bidimensionnel, en généralisant ensuite

l ’exposé au cas tridimensionnel. A la fin du chapitre on considère

la réduction à la forme canonique des formes quadratiques

et on met en évidence le rapport qui existe entre cette question

et la théorie des coniques et des quadriques. Le troisième chapitre

se conforme aux exigences du nouveau programme des

Ecoles techniques supérieures quant aux éléments d’algèbre linéaire.

L’exposé du troisième chapitre est indépendant de celui

des chapitres précédents.

Le livre a été traduit du russe par L. Vakhourkina.
L’édition française a été publiée en 1976 par les éditions Mir.

Un grand merci à Henri Leveque pour le scan original.

Aesthetics And Poetics by Yuri Barabash

Posted on October 12, 2023 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Aesthetics And Poetics by Yuri Barabash.

About the book

And here an important question arises : to whom, exactly, should the book address itself?

Among those who do not accept our aesthetics and our art, there are some who, as the Bible puts it, “have ears, but they hear not; eyes have they, but they see not”. I am speaking of those who have made a profession of libel and ideological sabotage. For a self-respecting scholar arguing with them is out of the question. Frankly, I count least of all on their attention, but if they do, in fact, take no tice, I will try to answer them as the situation demands.

I have in mind another sort of reader, one who is genuinely interested in Soviet literature and art, one who sincerely wishes to know our culture, to understand its unique features and principles, but who is often prevented from doing so because of inadequate knowledge, misinfor mation or preconceptions of various sorts. This is the reader with whom I wish to speak and debate in earnest without grudging the time or energy.

I will be pleased if my book contributes in any degree to this sort of constructive dialogue.

The book was translated from Russian and was published in 1977 by Progress Publishers.

Agrarian India Between The World Wars A Study Of Colonial Feudal Capitalism by Rostislav Ulyanovsky

Posted on October 11, 2023 by The Mitr

In this post, we will see the book Agrarian India Between The World Wars A Study Of Colonial Feudal Capitalism by Rostislav Ulyanovsky.

About the book

In this book, the author has tried to present an integral

work studying one of the most critical periods of and a turning

point in the colonial exploitation of India by British imperialism-

that of the pre-crisis “flourishing” and the development

of the world economic crisis from the end of the 1920s

to almost the mid-1930s. The socio-economic anailysis in this

work discloses the evolution of India’s agrarian structure. It

covers chiefly the period between the two world wars, which

was one of persistent and nation-wide anti-imperialist struggle

and, in a number of Indian provinces, also. of an anti-feudal

movement among the peasantry. It should be noted that

it is precisely this period that is covered at best fragmentarily

in contemporary socio-economic literature.

The material the author has managed to utilise is, for the

most part, unique, especiaJly the many volumes of the British

Royal Commission on Agriculture in India ( 1927) and the research

carried out by the Indian Banking Enquiry Committee

for the Central Administrated Areas ( 193 1) . Extensive use of

this material, together with the results of the All-India Population

Census of 1931, has made it possible to recreate clear

types of representatives of exploitative groups, to show quite

clearly the economic policy pursued by British imperiailism in

the Indian countryside, as weH as the differences in the positions

of t he exploitative strata in India in relation to the peasantry

and the land question.

The research is also based ori the use of now rare material

( with which even experts on · the social problems of India are

unfamiliar) on the agrarian question and the condition of the

peasantry, the development of capitalism and class differentiation

in the countryside, the agrarian policy pursued by

British imperiali sm-material that was published by almost all

the leading newspapers and journals in India at the time.

The author suggests that considerable interest will be shown

in his elaboration of such problems as the development course

taken by capitalism, merchant’s and usurer’s capital, the landtax

systems and the attempts made by the British imperialists

to implant junker-type landowner capitalists, in, India.

The work analyses the impact of the world economic crisis

on the position of the immediate producer ( cultivator) , shows

the way Britain robbed agrarian India more and more as the

Great Depression of 1 929-1933 deepened, and also considers

the specific mechanisn1 by which the consequences of the crisis

were transferred from the metropolitan country to colonial

India.

Méthodes Numériques Analyse, Algèbre, Équations Différentielles Ordinaires par N. Bakhvalov

Posted on October 9, 2023 by The Mitr

Dans cet article, nous verrons le livre Méthodes Numériques Analyse, Algèbre, Équations Différentielles Ordinaires par N. Bakhvalov.

À propos du livre

Le présent livre est issu du cours que l ’auteur donne depuis dix

ans à la Faculté physico-mathématique et à la Faculté d’analyse

numérique et de cybernétique de l’Université de Moscou ainsi que

des travaux du Centre de calcul de ladite Université.

Comme tout manuel de méthodes numériques, cet ouvrage expose

les notions fondamentales de la théorie concernant, dans notre cas,

l ’approximation de fonctions, l’intégration, les problèmes d’algèbre

et d’optimisation, la résolution d’équations différentielles.

Nous assistons aujourd’hui à un développement impétueux du

matériel de calcul (la valeur du parc augmente de plusieurs ordres

par décennie). Les machines et les méthodes numériques sont constamment

sollicitées afin de faire face à des problèmes toujours plus

variés: D’où une reconversion permanente de nos idées sur l’ensemble

des questions liées à l ’application des ordinateurs et les tâches

que nous imposons aux procédés de calcul. Pour toutes ces raisons

donc il est impossible de proposer un manuel panacée, et quand on

choisit un mode opératoire susceptible de nous donner la solution de

tel problème compliqué, tout manuel n’est souvent qu’une sorte

de guide général dont la seule vocation est d’inspirer le chercheur.

La création et la mise en pratique des méthodes numériques

relèvent entre autres de l’étude purement théorique des techniques

de résolution des problèmes types, de l ’analyse du travail de l ’algorithme

dans le cas des problèmes modèles et de l ’expérience numérique.

On ne saurait surestimer le rôle du choix de la direction des

recherches de la construction de modèles mathématiques des phénomènes

étudiés, de l’établissement des contacts avec les représentants

d’autres disciplines.

Les facteurs énumérés se particularisent suivant les cas, si bien

qu’il est difficile de donner une recette générale. Le lecteur est donc

prié de voir dans les raisonnements de l ’auteur non pas un guide

pour l ’action mais un point de vue parmi tant d’autres.

L’efficacité des ordinateurs et des méthodes numériques se mesure

au nombre de problèmes ardus résolus ainsi qu’au nombre d’utilisateurs

gagnés en augmentant le « confort » de leur accès à la machine.

Ce dernier but exige q u ’on rédige des programmes standard de résolution de problèmes mathématiques types. Aussi le présent livre

réserve-t-il certaine place aux questions de la théorie des méthodes

numériques qui surgissent lors de l’élaboration de tels programmes.

Cet ouvrage doit beaucoup à Monsieur le Professeur S. Bakhvalov,

père de l ’auteur, à Messieurs A. Kolmogorov, S. Sobolev,

A. Tikhonov, de l’Académie des Sciences de l’U.R.S.S., à Monsieur

N. Tchétaev, membre correspondant de l ’Académie, à Messieurs

les Professeurs I. Bérézine, S. Godounov, à Messieurs N. Jidkov,

V. Karmanov, A. Filippov, chargés de cours, qui ont notablement

influencé les idées de l ’auteur sur les questions abordées.

L’auteur adresse ses remerciements à Monsieur le Professeur

E. Volkov, qui, chargé de recenser le présent livre, lui a apporté de

très précieux conseils.

La gratitude de l ’auteur va à Messieurs les Professeurs V. Voïévodine,

N. Kouznétsov, à Messieurs F. Vassiliev, E. Diakonov,

I. Jiléikine, V. Morozov, chargés de cours, chez qui il a trouvé

d’utiles suggestions qui ont eu pour effet d’améliorer le manuscrit.

L’auteur est fort reconnaissant à Madame R. Razouméiko et à

Messieurs B. Bérézine, G. Kobelkov, A. Koukarkine, K. Ossipenko,

qui l ’ont grandement aidé à rédiger le manuscrit.

Le livre a été traduit du russe par Irina Petrova.
L’édition française a été publiée en 1976 par les éditions Mir.

Crédits à l’uploader d’origine.
