Notes
1
See, for example, Alexander Bogdanov, The Philosophy of Living Experience, trans. David Rowley (Brill, 2016), 160. As Anton Vidokle pointed out to me, the “common task of knowing the world” is more associated with the cosmist philosopher Nikolai Fedorov. I’m more drawn to Bogdanov’s materialist repurposing of the concept and have stressed it in my adaptation of Bogdanov.
