Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of assessing G.W.F. Hegel's philosophy in dialectical materialism in the late 19th – first half of the 20th century in terms of its relation to science. The main directions of interpretation on this issue, which are characteristic of the works of dialectical materialism, are outlined. The article shows both the mutual inconsistency of a number of interpretational directions and the peculiarities of dialectical materialism development in terms of the prevailing directions of interpretations of the scientific character of Hegel's philosophy. As a result, it is noted that while the early periods were mostly characterized by a high scientific significance of either Hegel's philosophy in general or his dialectical method, later positions on this problematic change in the direction of worsening both the general attitude to Hegel's philosophy and the attitude to the degree of its scientific significance, since positions on either only a latent scientific potential of Hegel's dialectical method or (in the later periods) the unscientific and mystical character of both the system and the method become predominant. The article also considers possible factors that may have influenced the change in attitudes to the question of the scientific character of Hegel's philosophy.
