Set within the context of an era referred to as the age of science
as well as the age of ideologies, this volume explores how the
Soviet Union responded to the impacts and interactions of both
science and ideology between 1917 and 1967. Non-specialists as well
as experts are apt to disagree sharply about, or to be ignorant of,
the mutual relationship. But even if the system is defunct, the
issues remain.This book divides its attention among four different
fields of science: cybernetics, economics, philosophy, and
sociology. The authors believe that the disciplines discuss
revealing trends in Soviet science, in general, and its interaction
with an established (though not immutable) ideology, in
particular.The authors conducted a pioneering examination of the
mutual influence of ideology and science and the problems and
opportunities created for government by the new scientific
revolution. Specifically, they hold that in the 1960s Soviet
science (or at least the disciplines covered here) helped sustain
the established system and its ideology rather than weaken them.
This volume is of historical interest and provides insight into how
one may explore the ways science and ideology interact.
