Excerpt from The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844: With Appendix Written 1886, and Preface 1887 In European countries, it took the working class years and years before they fully realized the fact that they formed a distinct' and, unde1 the existing social conditions, a permanent class of modern society, and it took years again until this class-consciousness led them to form themselves into a distinct political party, indepen...

A critique of the utopian socialists, such as Fourier and Owen, providing an explanation of the socialist framework for understanding capitalism, and an outline of the progression of social and economic development from the perspective of historical materialism.

The present work carries us back to a period which, although chronologically no more than a generation or so behind us, has become as foreign to the present generation in Germany as if it were already a full hundred years old. Yet it was the period of Germany's preparation for the Revolution of 1848, and all that has happened in our country since then has been merely a continuation of 1848, merely the execution of the last will and testament o...

Dialectics of Nature is one of the classics of Marxist liturature. Engels, analysing the advances of science, demonstrates how dialectical materialism, the philosophy of Marxism, corresponds to the very way in which nature unfolds. The revolutionary advances of nineteenth century science, most notably the discovery of the cell, the law of conservation and transformation of energy, and Darwinian evolution, provided the material basis for a dial...

Excerpt from The Mark This short but instructive essay on the primitive form of collective land ownership in Germany and the subsequent development of private property, was written by Engels in 1892 as an Appendix to his well-known work entitled, Socialism, Utopian and Scientific. But as the subject to which it refers is a special one, there is some advantage in publishing it separately. And right here it may be observed that the institution ...

Excerpt from Herr Eugen Dühring's Revolution in Science: Anti-Dühring It was not my fault that I had to follow Herr Duhring into realms where at best I can only claim to be a dilettante. In such cases I have for the most part limited myself to putting forward the correct, uncontested facts in Opposition to my adversary's false or distorted assertions. This applies to jurisprudence and in many instances also to natural science. In other cases ...

Excerpt from Landmarks of Scientific Socialism: Anti -Duehring So, German socialism, particularly since Herr Dueh ring set the example, beats the drum, and produces here and there one who prides himself upon a science of which he knows nothing. It is this, a sort of child's disease which marks the first conversion of the German university man to social democracy and is inseparable from him, but it will soon be thrust aside by the re markable ...

At the request of my friend, Paul Lafargue, ... I arranged three chapters of this book (Anti-Dühring) as a pamphlet, which he translated and published in 1880, under the title: Socialisme utopique et Socialisme scientifique. From this French text, a Polish and a Spanish edition were prepared. In 1883, our German friends brought out the pamphlet in the original language. Italian, Russian, Danish, Dutch, and Roumanian transla-tions, based upon t...

Translation of: Die Entwicklung des Sozialismus von der Utopie zur Wissenschaft.

A detailed description and analysis of the appalling conditions of the working class in Britain based on Engels's own observations.

This work is a testimony with regard to the method employed by Marx and Engels in arriving at their philosophical conclusions. It is the statement of the philosophical foundations of modern socialism by one who helped to lay them, it is an old man's account of the case upon the preparation of which he has spent his entire life, for, this work, short as it is, represents the results of forty years of toil and persevering effort."
