The Library of Materialism

Edited by A. Deborin and David Ryazanov

Materialism has hitherto been neglected. Idealism naturally occupied the place of honour. Even the greatest materialist thinkers, whose works defined an era and exerted an enormous influence on philosophical and scientific thought, remain unknown to the Russian reader to this day. The Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels Institute considers it its duty to fill this gap and make the original works of the materialists accessible to the Russian reader. This is all the more necessary given that materialism constitutes the philosophical foundation of Marxism. Without materialism, there is no Marxism. Therefore, for an in-depth study and understanding of the Marx-Engels worldview, a thorough familiarity with their predecessors in all fields of thought and science is absolutely essential. Since we are dealing with the philosophical foundations of Marxism, the study of the history of materialism is a must for every Marxist.

However, the history of materialism is best studied through the original works of the thinkers themselves.

The works of the classics of materialism will be accompanied by prefaces and explanatory critical notes to facilitate their assimilation and understanding.

The library comprises works by the following authors:

1. Lucretius. De rerum natura (On the Nature of Things).
2. Gassendi. Selected Works.
3. Hobbes. 1) On Bodies, 2) On Man, 3) Leviathan, and others.
4. La Mettrie. A Treatise on the Soul. The System of Epicurus. Man as a Machine. Man as a Plant. A Discourse on Happiness.
5. Helvétius. On the Mind. On Man.
6. Holbach. The System of Nature. The Social System. Christianity Unmasked, etc.
7. Diderot. Selected Works.
8. Robinet. On Nature.
9. John Toland. Selected Works.
10. Priestley. An Inquiry into Matter and Spirit.
11. Priestley. A Free Discussion of Materialism.
12. Ludwig Feuerbach. Selected Works in Three Volumes.
13. Chernyshevsky. Philosophical Works.
14. Marx and Engels. Philosophical Works.

The following have currently been published:

• A) L. Feuerbach. Selected Works, Volume I, Part I. Feuerbach as a Man and a Thinker. Introductory essay by A.M. Deborin. Part II. – 1. On Spiritualism and Materialism, particularly in relation to free will. – 2. Eudemonism. – 3. Law and the State (from posthumous aphorisms). – 4. Notes by L.I. Axelrod-Orthodox.
• B) Ludwig Feuerbach. Selected Works, Volume III. – Lectures on the Essence of Religion.

HEGEL

WORKS
edited by A. Deborin and David Ryazanov

The Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels Institute is commencing the publication of a Russian translation of selected works by Hegel.

Hegel is of immense importance to Marxism. Marx was schooled in Hegel’s thought, and Feuerbach was a pupil of Hegel’s. Our teachers developed their own doctrine partly by transforming Hegel’s worldview. The most valuable element of Hegel’s doctrine that has been retained within the Marxist system is dialectics. But Hegel influenced his disciples not merely through dialectics, but through his entire system. As an encyclopaedic mind who had absorbed the entire body of knowledge of his era, Hegel in turn enriched all fields of knowledge with his brilliant thought – particularly the so-called humanities. A thorough familiarity with Hegel’s works appears essential for understanding Marx’s teachings.

The following works are scheduled for publication in the first instance:

1. The Philosophy of Right, translated by B. Stolpner.
2. The Philosophy of History, translated by A. Voden.
3. The Philosophy of Right, translated by B. Stolpner.
4. Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences in Basic Outline, in three parts.
5. Phenomenology of Spirit.
6. Science of Logic, three books.
7. History of Philosophy, in three volumes.
