On April 2, at 18:00, at Book House Ligamus of Ilia State University, within the project “Presidential Collegium for State Arrangement”, Professor at Humboldt University of Berlin, Andreas Arndt, will deliver a public lecture on “Lenin’s Interpretation of Hegelian Marxism.”
Main topic of the lecture is highlighting the Importance of Hegel’s Philosophical System for Reassessing Marx’s Dialectical Materialism, which made it absolutely clear that comprehension of Karl Marx’s dialectic without understanding the basics of Hegel’s philosophical system is impossible. It is also worth noting that Lenin’s move to study Hegelian system laid the foundation for the formation of the Western Hegelian Marxism and developed links between Russian and European intellectual platforms.
