66 SOCIAL SCIENTIST

by divorcing the basis of science from the basis of life^ modern man has been able to cast a blind eye on the great potential and actual destructi-vcness of this pursuit. But not for long now. Secondly, in such a conception the antithesis between man as subject and man as object no longer appears as a controversy between determinism and voluntarism. Here again though Marx was not a self-conscious philosopher of science he certainly taught (and I quote Lukacs) that "fatalism and voluntarism are only mutually contradictory to an undfalectical and unhistorical mind. In the dialectical view of history they prove to be necessarily complementary opposites.80"
