This seminal 1928 textbook by Konstantin Kornilov represents a foundational effort to reformulate psychological science through the lens of Marxist philosophy. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of "reactology"—a psychological current pioneered by Kornilov that sought a middle ground between subjective introspective psychology and purely objective behaviorism by focusing on the "reaction" as the biopsychosocial unit of human behavior. As the second revised edition, this volume captures the peak of the "Kornilov era" at the Institute of Psychology, documenting the radical methodological shift that occurred during the first Soviet decade. The inclusion of numerous illustrations and diagrams serves as a vital primary source for understanding how early Soviet scientists visualized the mechanical and biological aspects of the human psyche within a dialectical framework.
