      abstract = {This book presents key works of Boris Hessen, outstanding  Soviet philosopher of science, available here in English  for the first time. Quality translations are accompanied by  an editors' introduction and annotations. Boris Hessen is  known in history of science circles for his "Social and  Economic Roots of Newtons Principia" presented in London  (1931), which inspired new approaches in the West. As a  philosopher and a physicist, he was tasked with developing  a Marxist approach to science in the 1920s. He studied the  history of physics to clarify issues such as reductionism  and causality as they applied to new developments. With the  philosophers called the "Dialecticians", his debates with  the opposing "Mechanists" on the issue of emergence are  still worth studying and largely ignored in the many recent  works on this subject. Taken as a whole, the book is a  goldmine of insights into both the foundations of physics  and Soviet history.},
