About the Author

Alexander Bogdanov (1873-1928) was a leading member of the Bolshevik Party. A sometimes ally, and sometimes polemical target of Lenin, Bogdanov made enormous contributions to the theoretical and practical development of early Soviet society in a number of disparate areas.

David G. Rowley is Emeritus Professor of History, University of Wisconsin-Platteville. He has published several articles on Alexander Bogdanov and is the translator of Bogdanov's Philosophy of Living Experience (Haymarket, 2017) and Empiriomonism (Haymarket, 2020).
