Sydney Hook as a philosopher combined in his views two seemingly incompatible concepts - Marxism and pragmatism. From this hybrid position of "pragmatist Marxism" Hook considers in the proposed book the basic concept of philosophy - Genesis. Philosophers have long tried to give him a definition (of the last most profound attempts can be called Martin Heidegger's philosophy in "Being and Time"), and Hook analyzes these attempts as a manifestation of the social nature of man. This point of view serves him as a starting point for the study of morality, religion and science.
