Georgi Plekhanov: Selected Philosophical Works in Five Volumes – Volume V concludes the definitive collection of writings by Georgi Valentinovich Plekhanov, the founder of Russian Marxism and one of the greatest exponents of dialectical and historical materialism. This final volume presents his later philosophical essays, letters, and polemical works, offering deep insight into Plekhanov’s mature thought and his intellectual legacy as both a philosopher and revolutionary theorist.

Volume V contains some of Plekhanov’s most reflective writings, where he engages critically with theoretical challenges facing Marxism, including the nature of human freedom, the role of consciousness in social life, and the dialectical relationship between individual and society. His essays reaffirm his lifelong defense of scientific materialism and his opposition to idealism and revisionism, maintaining a steadfast commitment to the principles of Marx and Engels.

This volume also includes Plekhanov’s correspondence and final reflections, which illuminate his contribution to the formation of Russian socialist thought and his efforts to bridge classical European philosophy with revolutionary praxis. His writing here is marked by clarity, precision, and intellectual discipline, demonstrating his unique ability to unite philosophical rigor with historical understanding.

Edited and published by the Institute of Marxism-Leninism, Selected Philosophical Works, Volume V stands as both a philosophical summation and historical testament — the culmination of Plekhanov’s lifelong pursuit to develop Marxist philosophy as a living, scientific worldview. It is an essential reference for students, historians, and scholars of philosophy, Marxism, and Soviet intellectual history.
