  • Summary

  • The Elemental Principles of Philosophy by Georges Politzer is a foundational text in Marxist philosophy that seeks to make dialectical materialism accessible to a broader audience. Politzer outlines the key principles of Marxist theory, emphasizing the materialist conception of history and the dialectical method as tools for understanding and transforming society.

    The book critiques idealist philosophies, focusing on the role of material conditions in shaping human thought and social structures. It serves as an introductory guide to core Marxist ideas such as the class struggle, the relationship between the base and superstructure, and the necessity of revolutionary action. Politzer's work is practical and didactic, aimed at equipping workers and activists with the intellectual tools to engage critically with their world and work towards social change.
