This is another book in the series Philosophy of Russia in the Second Half of the 20th Century. The current volume includes memoirs and articles about Russian philosopher Mikhail Konstantinovich Petrov (1923-1986), a founder of history of science in Russia, historian of culture and social thought, with a special interest in the problem of creativity. According to him, man, and not social bodies, determines the ways and goals of historical development. The creative impulse is not just associated with an individual, but is encompassed into a system of cultural and social links. While analyzing knowledge he differentiates between content (the province of science) and ways of its coding (the subject of philosophy). He started his scholarly career in 1960 and left about 12,000 pages of works, most published posthumously. Bibliography. Name index. Available by M. Petrov: Istoriko-Filosofskie Issledovaniia (1996). Other books from the series are also available.
