(1978) Marxist ethical theory in the Soviet union, Dordrecht, Springer.
The discussion of value theory in the Soviet Union opened with the publication of V. P. Tugarinov's monograph On the Values of Life and Culture.1 A conference on value theory convened in Tbilisi in 1965 provided a further impetus to the discussion.2 In between these two events there appeared at least three articles and one book (in Ukrainian) devoted to the subject, and the Institute of Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences arranged two special meetings to consider the question of whether Marxist philosophy required any special theory of the nature of values.3 The Leningrad philosophical kafedra of the Academy of Sciences also published a substantial anthology, The Problem of Values in Philosophy, in 1966.4 These were the principal events in the context of which Soviet discussions of value theory developed.
