ABSTRACT
Accomplished Marxixtes, besides knowing the universe to be a dialectic process, are supposed to possess a dialectic method of thinking, which is appropriate to such a universe and which constitutes the essence of their wisdom. It is obvious that real thinking, whose main function to adjust authors to the particular parts of a changing world and enable them to manage them, is not very well adapted to the task of reproducing in our minds the exact nature of this world as a whole. Intellectual people, however, who live among ideas as though they were things, and may be likened in that respect to insane people, usually forget this fact. They get to imagining that logical concepts can be strung together in such a form that they will actually somehow reproduce reality, or to use the phrase of Engels, “represent the exact nature of the universe.”.
