Abram Moiseyevich Deborin (16 June 1881 – 8 March 1963) was a Soviet philosopher.
Political career
Deborin was a Menshevik before the October Revolution and considered Plekhanov a more important theorist than Lenin.[1]
Philosophy
During the 1920s, Deborin led the struggle against mechanism, which ended when the Second All-Union Conference of Marxist-Leninist Scientific Institutions condemned mechanism in April 1929.[2]
Deborin and his allies, Karev and Stens, adopted Hegelian dialectics without replacing its idealism with materialism. They separated theory from practice The Central Committee of the CPSU condemned Deborinism and mechanism in January 1931.[1]
