Abstract

The paper focuses on the actualization of basic starting points of Lenin’s philosophy. That is first if all principles in Marxist thinking, creative aspects of its development, a fight spirit and irreconciliability with idealistic and pseudo-Marxist trends. Further the author takes a critical standpoint against the views that renounced or doubted Lenin’s philosophical heritage and regarded lenin rather as a politician, ideologist, revolutionary than a philosopher. Finally the author pays attention to contemporary tendencies either to bring mechanistic elements into scientifico-materialistic philosophy or to revise its fundamentals postulates under the label of its creative development.
