In the paper the author tackles the problem why in literature and in the spiritual life after the decline of a priori consolidating organizational principles (in connection with the Great French Revolution) the awareness of value and existence crisis arose, and what had to be done so that the marxist science on the development of society could find evolutionary laws and certainties in the seeming chaos of modern world by means of A.
