Revised Edition.
Roviewed by L. I. Stoz'ohak
Blokhintsevt s book seems to be etrongly influenced by rquirements of
Ts.K. Central Committee), partioularly by digcusaiona initiated by Ark.
Zadanov in 1947. The influenes of the party line is clearly seen in the
difference between tks,e first and the second edition.. (The first editian
appeared in 1994). At the present time, aooordin, to Ts.Ko, soientifio
.~
theories have to be materialistic, they should not follow the idealistic
scientific distorbionsaoeepted by bourgeoia' eci.entists_like Bohr,
Hdsenberg and Sohroedinger. Blokr~intsev also was guided by bb.e oritiaiSfl
