Written at the height of the purges, but unpublished for decades,
Megrelidze's text is arguably the most significant, erudite and
wide-ranging work of Marxist philosophy written in the USSR at the
time. Discussing the emergence and development of human
consciousness from the origins of humanity to the rise of
capitalism, Megrelidze discusses the major achievements of
contemporary cognitive science, sociology, philosophy and
linguistics in the light of the works of Marx and Engels that were
being published at the time. Far from the rigidities of official
'diamat', the book illuminates the important debates in Soviet
intellectual life that led to the works of figures such as Vygotsky
and members of the 'Bakhtin Circle'.
