The present work is a study of the method of contemporary Soviet
philosophy. By "Soviet philosophy" we mean philosophy as published
in the Soviet Union. For practical purposes we have limited our
attention to Soviet sources in Russian in spite of the fact that
Soviet philosophical works are also published in other languages
(see B 2029(21)(38. The term "method" is taken in the sense usual
in Western books on methodology .1 In view of the content of the
first chapter it will be useful to explain the last term a little
more fully. By method we mean a procedure and it is obvious that
the principles according to which a procedure is carried out are
rules, i.e. imperatives, which tell us not what is but what should
be done. Such imperatives mayor may not be connected with and
founded on certain descriptive statements (the fact that every rule
of formal logic is based on a corresponding law has been well-known
since Husserl's "Logische Unter suchungen" and is generally
accepted in contemporary logic), but such a foundation is
irrelevant to a methodological study. The object of such a study is
to find out what these rules are, why they are accepted and how
they are inter-connected and applied. This is how methodology - the
science of method - is conceived in Western treatises on the
subject and this is also the standpoint assumed here."
