Within American philosophy, the pragmatists, John Dewey and George Herbert Mead advanced rather similar perspectives. Of course, they, like the Soviet philosophers, were influenced by Hegel.
Jim Farmelant http://independent.academia.edu/JimFarmelant ^^^^^^^ CB: Yes, though this seems a materialist aphorism. It refers to Nature as infinite, not the Idea. So, this would be Marx's influence , too, Marx's transformation of Hegel. ^^^^^^^ From: c b <cb31450 at gmail.com> "Felix Mikhailov' book considers the philosophical problems of the human consciousness, its relation to the surrounding world and the means by which self-knowledge can be theoretically investigated. It poses and offers solutions to many questions raised by the nature of human thought, the intellect and the possibility of creating an artificial intellect. By means of a wide survey the book shows that the Self is a product of historically developing cultures in which infinite nature cognises and transforms itself."
