After taking up Engels’s most famous works [1] on dialectics in our March/April IMT organization-wide readings, we now delve deeper into The Revolutionary Philosophy of Marxism [2] with excerpts from Lenin’s and Trotsky’s philosophical notebooks. These writings provide invaluable insight on Hegel’s notion of the dialectical method, as well as a Marxist critique of Hegel’s system. Additionally, Trotsky’s notes in particular provide a wealth of insight into the history of philosophy, Darwin, the dialectics of consciousness, psychoanalysis, Lenin’s dialectics versus Martov’s, and much more.
