With him there was a well-known professor of philosophy, who had come from Harkov expressly to clear up a difference that had arisen between them on a very important philosophical question.
The professor was carrying on a hot crusade against materialists.
Sergey Koznishev had been following this crusade with interest, and after reading the professor's last article, he had written him a letter stating his objections.
He accused the professor of making too great concessions to the materialists.
And the professor had promptly appeared to argue the matter out.
