Spirkin : Dialectical Materialism (excerpt 2)
Socialist society, free from exploitation of man by man, is being built in accordance with a strictly scientific social theory — Marxism-Leninism, whose philosophical basis is dialectical materialism.
Marxist-Leninist philosophy has throughout its history been inseparably and openly connected with the revolutionary struggle of the working class, of all working people for their intellectual, social and national emancipation— in this sense it is a committed philosophy.
The philosophy of Marx was a turning-point in the development of world philosophical thought. Its great innovation was to make philosophy into a science, to remould the very purpose of philosophical knowledge, which as it became established not only explained but helped to transform the world.
Marxist philosophy, as Lenin put it, has the integrity of something forged out of a single piece of steel. It is a harmonious, consistent system of materialist views on nature, society and the mind, on the general laws of their development.
