In the paper the author applies these requirements as criteria to the evaluation of recent results in the sphere of philosophical research, especially in the sphere of investigation of philosophical aspects of molding the socialist consciousness and personality. He simultaneously analyses in view to these intentions the future research project that will be worked upon in the Philosophical Section of the Institute of Philosophy of the Slovac Academy of Sciences: “Methodological Problems of Social Sciences“.
