Author Description

Soviet Marxism and Natural Science, 1917-1932 is a book written by David Joravsky that explores the relationship between Soviet Marxism and natural science during the early years of the Soviet Union. The book examines the efforts of Soviet scientists and Marxist thinkers to create a new scientific paradigm that would be more aligned with Marxist ideology. Joravsky argues that this effort was ultimately unsuccessful, as the Soviet government became increasingly hostile towards independent scientific inquiry and instead sought to control all aspects of scientific research. The book also explores the role of Marxist philosophy in shaping Soviet scientific policy and the ways in which Soviet scientists attempted to reconcile Marxism with the natural sciences. Overall, Soviet Marxism and Natural Science, 1917-1932 provides a fascinating look at the intersection of politics, philosophy, and science during a pivotal period in Soviet history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
