Losev wrote eight monograph volumes, beginning the work in 1923. The titles were: "The Ancient Cosmos and Modern Science", "The Philosophy of Name", "The Dialectics of Artistic Form", "The Dialectics of Number in Plotinus", "Criticism of Platonism by Aristotle", "Music as a Subject of Logic", "Essays on Classical Symbolism and Mythology", and "The Dialectics of Myth". The series was to conclude with a ninth volume but "The Dialectics of Myth" caused a great deal of controversy, and Losev never finished the final monograph.
