“Instead of investigating what Bogdanov actually wrote, verdicts stemming from Lenin and Plekhanov have been repeated uncritically. This was understandable so long as Bogdanov’s works remained inaccessible. With this translation of Empiriomonism, this need no longer be the case.”—James D. White, Europe-Asia Studies“If there is much that seems alien to us in Bogdanov’s moment in revolutionary history [...] it remains a rich fund of ethical force in the present.”—Nicholas Bujalski, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
