International “Logic of History” School |
The International “Logic
of History” School
has been created by pupils-followers of the professor of
Philosophical Faculty of Moscow State University V.A. Vazulin.
Victor Alekseevich Vazulin is a thinker which creativity in
the certain sense has opened a new stage in the development of
science.
Theoretical research into the processes of human development
along with critical revaluation of social theory and social
philosophy brought forth an original trend in the sphere of
social theory, dialectical logic and the methodology of
science. This trend found its expression in V.A. Vazulin’s
conception of the “Logic of History”.
The main scientific
achievements that brought V.A. Vazulin to his conception are:
1) Revealing the logic of
the theoretical part of Marx’s “Capital” by a systematic
category revaluation of politico-economic material alongside a
parallel critical analysis of Hegel’s “The Science of Logic”.
This enabled him to work out the methodology of advanced
research, mature science regarding the organic whole.
In the framework of this logic and methodology we see, in pure
form, the ascent from the abstract to
the concrete in its dialectical unity with the ascent from the
sensual-concrete to the abstract, the logical in its
dialectical unity with the historical, the reasonable aspect
of thinking
(germ. Vernunft)
in unity with the intellectual (germ.
Verstand).
2)
A concrete historical approach to Marxism, which is treated
as a scientific system developing
through the appearance and resolving of necessary
contradictions (of the real
object and of the process of cognitive activity); it should be
mentioned that the systems are internally
united in the
differences of their components, each of which is at a certain
level of its making and development. The logical and
methodological analysis of the history of Marxism made by
V.A. Vazulin
(from the
point of view of the methodology of the political economy of
capitalism – the most developed part of it) made it possible,
firstly, to reveal the objective laws and contradictions
(including the necessary errors) of the beginning, the
emergence, the formation, and the maturity of the development
of scientific research, i.e. the movement of cognitive
thinking from the external to the internal and vise versa,
from the surface to the essence of the object (of the subject
matter) and vice versa, and so on; and, secondly, to
concentrate all efforts on the most promising diversion for
the development of social theory.
The above-mentioned achievements are internally connected to
the approach to scientific thinking “as
a process of natural history, governed by laws”.
3) The creative development
made by V.A. Vazulin of the method of scientific investigation
made it possible to reveal the inner systematic
interconnection of laws and categories of social history which
reflect the structure of developed society; it also made it
possible to outline the theoretical periodization of human
history (the objective laws of its “ascent” from the
very beginning, the emergence,
the formation, to the maturity) through a prism of
interconnections of natural and social factors.
The scientific discoveries made by V.A. Vazulin and especially
the discovery of the “Logic of History”, made it
possible to comprehend the regularities of the development of
society more substantially and fully than in classical
Marxism. At the same time, those discoveries opened the stage
of the consecutive dialectical development of Marxism
(“sublation” in a new synthesis) by “sublating”
historical materialism and the formation approach.
The prognostic strength of this theory and methodology was
repeatedly approved in the early seventies. The theoretical
approach of the “Logic of History” to the
fundamental problems of social development (on “early”
socialist revolutions, the extensive and intensive development
of production forces, formal and real socialization etc.)
provides a key to the comprehension of an objective reason for
a number of social phenomena, opening the whole scale of
research approaches. Such phenomena include, for example, the
problem regarding the reasons for the victory of the
capitalist counterrevolution and restoration as opposed to
the dominant reduction of these reasons to a subjective
factor, the problem of perspectives for mankind
etc.
Modern life shows the need to reveal in greater depth the
cognitive and heuristic potential of this concept.
