Abstract

The Marxist-Leninist rejoinder to the criticism based on historical relativism makes use of the conception of natural and social laws which has already been mentioned. Laws are not products of man’s perceptive and reasoning faculties, mere patterns of description or means of organising experience; they are factors of the external world, reflected with ‘approximate fidelity’ in man’s mind. Any other view on this matter makes Nature a part of reason, instead of regarding reason as a part of Nature. Lenin devoted much space to the defence of ‘objective law in Nature’ and what he said is still accepted without major modifications. Polish Marxist-Leninists invariably refer to Lenin’s idea of law and adopt it as their own 35.
