Research Notes: From Critical Thinking to the Phenomenology of Communism

Abstract

This article aims to study the thought of Professor Bernhard H. Bayerlein through the academic productions themselves, such as books, articles, courses and research carried out in specialized archives and libraries, whose field of work elucidates the role of the revolutionaries after 1917. The challenge was to analyze the historical events during the inter-war period that sometimes arose from how theoretical conflicts that in praxi diallectly led the countries of the European continent to the binomial civilization/barbarism. The Historian´s task is to reconstitute the human past through historical research, dialoging with historical documents. The critical dialogue bequeathed by Professor Bernhard H. Bayerlein, supported by experience of the players in that period, particularly those within the Comintern, breaks with the linear versions of the international communist thought so dear to both revolutionaries and anti-communist conservatives.
