The criticism of intuitionism in contemporary bourgeois philosophy: Monograph. Kyiv, Naukova Dumka, 1975, 111 p.

The monograph critically analyses the problems of the intuitionist methodology that is, as the author claims, a basis of many contemporary philosophical positions. The author aims to identify the sources of intuitionism and the respective methodology. The plausible reasons and grounds for the development of intuitionism are suggested: social pre-conditions and the development of idealistic philosophy. The author examines the concept of "intuition" and its interpretation by various philosophical currents. The book also provides criticism of existentialism as a philosophical trend that employs intuitionist methodology.
