Socialism: Utopian And Scientific is a book written by Frederick Engels and first published in 1880. The book is a critique of the utopian socialists who believed in creating a perfect society through the establishment of experimental communities, and an explanation of the scientific basis of socialism. Engels argues that socialism is not a mere moral or ethical idea, but a scientific theory based on the laws of historical development. He explains that socialism is the inevitable result of the contradictions and conflicts inherent in capitalist society. Engels also critiques the ideas of utopian socialists like Robert Owen, Charles Fourier, and Saint-Simon, arguing that their visions were unrealistic and failed to address the fundamental problems of capitalist society. The book is considered a classic of Marxist literature and a key text in the development of socialist thought. It remains relevant today as a critique of the limitations of capitalist society and a call for a more just and equitable system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Frederick Engels was a prominent philosopher, social scientist, and revolutionary thinker. Born on November 28, 1820, in Barmen, Prussia (now part of Germany), Engels played a crucial role in shaping Marxist theory alongside his intellectual partner, Karl Marx. In 1845, Engels relocated to Brussels, where he formed a lifelong partnership with Marx. Together, they collaborated on several influential works, including "The Communist Manifesto". Engels provided significant financial support to Marx, enabling him to devote himself to intellectual pursuits. Frederick Engels dedicated his life to the study and promotion of Marxism. He continued to write and publish works on political economy, history, and social theory. His contributions played a pivotal role in shaping socialist and communist movements worldwide. Engels passed away on August 5, 1895, in London, leaving behind a rich intellectual legacy that continues to inspire generations of scholars and activists.
