✦ Synopsis

This is a book on the fundamental problems of Marxist philosophy. It expounds the subject of Marxism and shows its difference from other sciences. It reveals the fundamental issue of philosophy, and the meaning of matter and consciousness. It also deals with the basic laws of dialectics, i.e., those of the passage of quantitative into qualitative
changes, of the unity and struggle of opposites, and of the negation of the negation. Much attention is given to dialec­tical categories, the theory of knowledge, the role of practice, and the problems of truth.

The author stresses the practical value of dialectical materialism, and throws light on its laws and categories.
Written in a lively style, the book is a must for anyone who begins to study Marxist philosophy.
