Landmarks of Scientific Socialism: "Anti-Duehring"

In "Anti-Duhring," Friedrich Engels presents a rigorous critique of the philosophical and economic ideas posited by Eugen Dühring, marking a pivotal moment in socialist literature. Engels employs a dialectical materialist framework, blending clear exposition with forceful polemic, addressing complex themes such as historical materialism, socialism, and the nature of capitalism. This text is both a defense of Marxist theory and a comprehensive toolkit for understanding the scientific foundations of socialism, elucidating the mechanisms by which societal progress can occur through revolutionary transformation. Friedrich Engels, a German philosopher and social scientist, co-authored several foundational texts of Marxism alongside Karl Marx. His personal experiences in the industrial revolution, alongside a fellowship with Marx that emphasized mutual critique of prevailing economic and philosophical ideas, profoundly influenced his perspective. Engels's engagement with Dühring, who represented a reactionary trend in socialist thought, catalyzed his efforts to clarify and fortify Marxist doctrine against contemporary misinterpretations. "Anti-Duhring" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intellectual roots of socialist theory and its scientific principles. Engels articulates complex ideas with precision, making this work accessible yet deeply enriching. Scholars, students, and those intrigued by the dynamics of societal change will find profound insights that resonate with contemporary political discourse.
