Produktbeschreibung

"Landmarks of Scientific Socialism: Anti-Dühring" by Friedrich Engels remains a cornerstone of Marxist thought and political philosophy. This enduring critique of Eugen Dühring's philosophy provides a comprehensive overview of socialist theory and its application to economics and society. Engels meticulously dismantles Dühring's arguments, presenting a clear and concise exposition of dialectical materialism and its implications for understanding history, science, and the development of socialist ideas. "Anti-Dühring" is not merely a rebuttal; it serves as a foundational text for grasping the core tenets of Marxism, including the labor theory of value and the materialist conception of history. A vital contribution to socialist literature and political science, this volume offers invaluable insights into the historical context and intellectual foundations of communism and socialism. Students and scholars alike will find this an essential resource for exploring the development of socialist thought and its continuing relevance to contemporary social and political issues.

Autorenporträt

Friedrich Engels, born on November 28, 1820, in Barmen, Prussia, was the eldest son of a wealthy textile manufacturer. Despite his family's expectations for him to pursue a business career, Engels developed a keen interest in philosophy and literature during his early years. His exposure to the harsh realities of industrialization, particularly during his time in Manchester, England, profoundly influenced his socio-economic perspectives.In 1844, Engels met Karl Marx in Paris, marking the beginning of a lifelong partnership. Together, they co-authored several significant works, including "The Holy Family" and "The German Ideology," culminating in "The Communist Manifesto" in 1848. Engels also provided financial support to Marx, enabling him to continue his research and writing.After Marx's death in 1883, Engels dedicated himself to editing and publishing the remaining volumes of "Das Kapital," ensuring the continuation of their joint intellectual legacy. He also authored works such as "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State," further contributing to socialist theory. Engels passed away on August 5, 1895, in London, leaving an indelible mark on political thought and revolutionary movements worldwide.
