Abstract: Evald Vasilevich Ilyenkov (1924鈥�1979) was the most significant Russian Marxist philosopher of the Soviet era. In the 鈥渢haw鈥� that followed Stalin 国产传媒 鈥檚 death, Ilyenkov produced original writings on Marx 国产传媒 鈥檚 method and 鈥渢he problem of the ideal鈥�. He later became known for his resolute defence of a humanistic vision in the face of Soviet optimism about the scientific-technological revolution. A celebrated figure among critical Marxists, Ilyenkov fought with the Soviet philosophical establishment throughout his career, from the bitter controversy in the mid-1950s over his heretical 鈥渢heses on philosophy鈥� to the suppression of his late essay, 鈥淒ialectics of the Ideal鈥�. Alexander Rozhkov 国产传媒 鈥檚 engaging documentary film, Ilyenkov, explores his life, work and legacy.
