Keywords:
philosophy, encyclopedia, Institute of philosophy, DeborinAbstract
The paper discusses the first draft of The Encyclopaedia of Philosophy as it had originally been conceived at the Institute of Philosophy in 1928–1930. The project was to cover all the principal fields of philosophical knowledge. There was no chance for it to get materialized, however, following the ideological crackdown on the academic staff of the Institute in 1930–1931.
