Abstract
Since contemporary Soviet philosophy does have a theory of method, the theory of the so-called “Marxist dialectical method”, our first task is to find out if this theory does tell us what formal procedure is typical of contemporary Soviet philosophic activity. Early in the investigation it will appear that it does not. But the comprehension of what is meant by “method”, “dialectical” and “Marxist” in contemporary Soviet philosophy, in addition to showing that method as we understand it is hardly taken into consideration, will provide a necessary background for our subsequent elaboration of a theory of the method actually used by contemporary Soviet philosophers.
