It is impossible to understand the genius of Marx by divorcing his views from the ideological heritage of the past. "His teaching arose as a direct and immediate continuation of the teachings of the greatest representatives of philosophy, political economy and socialism." (Lenin, op., Vol. XVI, 349). Spinoza in the 17th century is the representative of materialism, which was later developed and deepened by Marx, of that materialism about which Lenin wrote: Throughout the entire recent history of Europe, and especially at the end of the 18th century, in France, where a decisive battle was fought against all sorts of medieval rubbish , against serfdom in institutions and in ideas, materialism turned out to be the only consistent philosophy, true to all the teachings of the natural sciences, hostile to superstition, hypocrisy, etc. "(Lenin, vol. XVI, 350)</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
