Understanding the essence of religion E.V. Ilienkov in the book "On the idoles and ideals"

The article analyzes the materialistic approach of the Soviet philosopher E.V. Ilyenkov to the question of the nature, social significance of a religious worldview. A deep historicism, logical-dialectical analysis of the basic element of a person’s self-consciousness, as well as an exact and highly artistic imagery, which over time increases the relevance of thoughts, distinguishes Il'enkov as the original philosopher.
