[Xmca-l] Re: New book on Ilyenkov

[alexander.surmava@yahoo.com]

As far as I know, Ilyenkov fought against an idealistic explanation of human nature. Including, against speculation, the term "information", which, ostensibly, is identical to the concept of ideality, and which, ostensibly, explains something in the phenomenon of ideality.

One of the main theoretical opponents of Ilyenkov was, in particular, the positivist-minded theorists, who believed that thinking as such is the “process of processing information” inside the brain.

That would be rude, Andy. I'd better order the book.

Andy, Alfredo--

 

The most intriguing thing about this book was the statement that Ilyenkov fought against the introduction of ideas from cybernetics into psychology. On the other side of the world, Gregory Bateson was fighting hard for their inclusion. 

 

I read through "The Ideal in Human Activity" a couple of times (true, without understanding much of it). But I didn't see anything against cybernetics. Am I missing something?

https://realdemocracymovement.org/finding-evald-ilyenkov/

In the era of alt-truth, disinformation and scepticism about the very possibility of knowledge, the work of a defiant Soviet thinker is attracting growing interest.

Evald Ilyenkov’s dialectical approach to philosophy from Spinoza to Hegel and Marx made him a target for persecution by the bureaucratic Stalinist authorities of his day.

The re-discovery of his original texts, suppressed or harshly redacted during his lifetime, is giving rise to an enhanced view of his contribution.

Finding Evald Ilyenkov draws on the personal experiences of researchers in the UK, Denmark and Finland. It traces Ilyenkov’s impact on philosophy, psychology, politics and pedagogy and how it continues to be relevant in the light of today’s crises.
