Social environment and historico-philosophical process: Kyiv, Naukova dumka, 1969, 183 p.

The author considers philosophy as a primarily social phenomenon: a product of social and political relations. The aim of the monograph is to determine the character and mechanism of the relationship between the historico-philosophical process and the social environment and politics in class societies. To do this, the author, in particular, addresses 1) the problem of "non-pure" philosophers (philosophical in other areas of culture, for example, in art and literature); 2) the mutual influences of philosophy and ideology; 3) the structure of philosophical collectives and their interaction with the social environment. The study is based on a wide range of material from the history of Ukrainian and Western philosophy.
