А.А. Богданов как социолог и утопист: проблема «класса для себя»
The article explicates the sociological and socio-utopian aspects of the general organizational concept of the Russian resear encyclopedist and political economist A.A. Bogdanov (1873-1928). Bogdanov's modification of the Marxist approach to the class structure of capitalist society is shown, emphasizing the problem of becoming a "class for oneself" ("klasse für sich"), on the one hand, for the industrial proletariat, on the other hand, for the social group of technical intelligentsia. Bogdanov's analysis of technical intelligentsia as a sociological category is considered in the context of the Russian debates of the early twentieth century about the class nature and economic role of the intelligentsia, the American utopia of technocracy and the utopia of "proletarian culture" by Bogdanov himself.
