In a philosophical sense, Lenin is unbearable - or was unbearable for some time - for all of us. Because deep down in their souls, despite all the talk about the dogmatism of Lenin’s philosophy, philosophers intuitively feel: this is not the essence of the matter... I know, Lenin says, my formulations and definitions are vague; I know that philosophers will accuse materialism of being “metaphysical.” But that's not the point. I not only do not share their philosophy, I treat philosophy differently, I perceive it as a practice... And the real problem is that Lenin questioned this traditional philosophical practice and proposed in return a completely different attitude to philosophy.
