Following on from the attempts of some Soviet philosophers in the 1960s to work out and further develop the theoretical core of the dialectical method of representation in Marx's Critique of Political Economy (see , above all, the work of Ewald Wassiljewitsch Iljenkow ), Wasjulin established a systematic and detailed comparison of the Science of logic from Hegel with the theoretical structure of capital from Karl Marx an independent conception of dialectical logic. By this he understands the conceptual reconstruction of the internal and simultaneously existing relationships and processes of a developing, complex object at its mature stage of development through the method of ascending from the abstract to the concrete. This ascension, practiced by Marx in his main work, is explicated by Wasjulin as a spiraling course of thought over the general categorical levels "being", "essence", "appearance" and "reality" of capital and is theoretically concrete in critical examination of the categories of Hegel's dialectic unfolds. Wasjulin succeeded at an early stage in a differentiated interpretation of the relationship between the historical and the logical in "Capital", which avoids the widespread shortening to a logical-historical method , as it is criticized today by the protagonists of the " New Marx Reading " in the West.

His long-term lecture cycles at Moscow University on the history of Marxian philosophy, his monograph on the genesis of the scientific method of Karl Marx and many articles are based on a theoretically sophisticated interpretation of the development process of the thought of Marx and Engels through the necessary stages and errors and overcome both the dogmatic canonization of Marxist doctrines, as well as the postulation of a break between “young” and “mature” Marx.

In his third monograph on the logic of history , Wasjulin shows how it is possible, on the basis of his reading of the logic of capital and taking into account the essential changes in the history of society that have occurred according to Marx, a human society entering its stage of maturity as an "organic totality" and to examine their development as the history of their prerequisites, their original formation, their formation and maturation. His new periodization approach, whose determinations go beyond the Marxist concept of economic social formations without discarding it, systematically focuses on the process of the emergence of the social from the natural or biological, and the transformation of the natural through the social. He concludes that the periodization of world history should be done according to a self-changing, evolving basis of periodization. The anticipation of future social development therefore excludes teleological thought patterns. Nor can it be derived from the theory and practice of class struggle alone. It presupposes a dialectical abolition of the previous historical form of Marxism. Communism is founded by Vazjulin theoretical way as a world-historical by the previous process required matured stage, and as a new type of development historical action of the people there - on pain of loss - now have in hand, the threat of military or ecological self-destruction through cooperative To avoid appropriating their planetary conditions of existence. WA Wasjulin is the inspirer and head of the International School of Logic of History, which is networked across several countries.
