These two notebooks were discovered while Philip Pomper was doing
research at Harvards Russian Research Center for a book on Trotsky,
Lenin and Stalin after the Russian Revolution and were published by
Columbia University for the first time in 1986. They present fascinating
new insights into Trotskys philosophy, politics, and psychology and
this volume is a significant addition to an understanding of his
revolutionary career. They shed new light on his relationship to Lenin
and Bolshevism, his criticism of dialectics and Darwin evolutionism, and
his reflections of Freudian psychology as he ponders the relationship
of the unconscious mind to the philosophical issues surrounding
dialectics. The original Russian text of the notebooks, prepared and
annotated by Felshtinsky, is also presented here to make the material
available to readers of Russian.
