  19. This has been emphasized by many observers. Recently however, the Hegelian heritage has been found to be the determining factor in contemporary Soviet metaphysics of knowledge by K. G. Ballestrem. Cf. his articles ‘The Soviet Concept of Truth’,op.cit., and ‘Dialectical Logic’,op. cit. A book by Mr. Ballestrem is forthcoming in German in the Sovetica series:Die sowjetische Erkenntnismetaphysik und ihr Verhältnis zu Hegel. (Diss.) Fribourg, 1965.
