ResumoBy definition the philosophical treatment of knowledge is an integral part of the philosophy of Marxism-Leninism and one would expect, therefore, that every Soviet philosopher would say at least something on the specific nature of cognition and that, further, there would develop a special group of philosophers — to be called epistemologists — who would devote themselves in a special way to the elaboration of questions dealing with knowledge. That this has not been the case with Soviet philosophy — where the explicit philosophical treatment of knowledge dates from about 1950 and the formation of a group of epistemologists from about 1957 — is due in the main to the peculiar history of this philosophical doctrine as a whole.
