After the departure of philosophical steamers from the young Soviet Republic, a huge hole in the humanities appeared, especially in philosophy. Towards this process was the absorption of humanitarian scientific knowledge to ideological tasks, myths were created for proletarian consciousness.
From the civil war, the commissars began to return to various institutions, and they were headed by illiterate and uneducated people with luggage of church and parish schools. You can imagine what kind of compote was in these heads!
The foundation of the new philosophy was the work of VI Ulyanov, nicknamed Lenin, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. If two others, taking into account the backwardness of 50 years of ideas, could at least somehow be called scientific knowledge, although controversial, then the scribbling of a bandit named Lenin was a benchmark for logical errors. To admit, in order to understand the work of Engels and Mark, serious preparation was necessary.
For obvious reasons, scientists from the plow only perceived what was part of their understanding. The first philosophical problem was the task of denying the entire old philosophy of creating a new front line. All European love for wisdom was based on the works of Plato of Athens, who was engaged in ideas, how they formed, come to mind as thoughts, are recognized as such, and by what law man manages to keep and extend their existence in his head.
In fact, philosophy in the true sense of the word generally does not do anything else, the other sciences are gradually budding and creeping along different corners of scientific knowledge, but they have preserved the methodological basis: one can not know about the mechanisms of coming to the head of ideas, but they do not appear anyway will be discovered by Plato in a way.
The new "scientists" called it idealism, gave it negative shades, sewed labels old and gone, replaced by an amusing notion - materialism. I thought a lot about what conditions should be spurred for the person's refusal from metaphysics towards the world of things.
The rations of these with the permission to say scientists were less than those of workers, the eternal half-starved existence hung up on people on food, life was re-embodied and the horizon of understanding was closed by the black square of Malevich. A person lives in the space between the ears, everything that he touches can be perceived only as an idea, one can disown this mechanism, but he will act in addition to your participation.
New scientists came up with the existence of objects bypassing their perception by man, as if the object of the material world began to live their lives and comprehend themselves and the surrounding reality. These little educated people did not know, but believed that the objects lived by themselves and called this nonsense materialism.
In fact, philosophy is familiar with the non-rational forms of thinking of wild tribes inhabiting the outer space of the human head with spirits and the name of this "materialism" - spiritualism.
