Abstract
A philosophical movement, correctly called logical pragmatism, is growing up around the philosophy of W. V. O. Quine, Soviet scholars follow this development with clear and well-grounded understanding of the origins and tenets of the system. This essay continues the “dialogue” between contemporary Marxism-Leninism and logical pragmatism recommended by Soviet scholars.
