Friedrich Engels Null Books

Friedrich Engels was a German philosopher and political theorist, renowned for his collaboration with Karl Marx. His seminal work, 'The Condition of the Working Class in England,' emerged from his direct observations of worker poverty in Manchester. Together with Marx, he co-founded the Communist League and contributed to 'The Communist Manifesto.' He later provided significant financial support to the Marx family and meticulously edited and prepared Marx's writings for publication after his death, ensuring their enduring legacy.

Nearly two years before his powerful Communist Manifesto, Marx (1818—1883) co-wrote The German Ideology in 1845 with friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels expounding a new political worldview, including positions on materialism, labor, production, alienation, the expansion of capitalism, class conflict, revolution, and eventually communism. They chart the course of "true" socialism based on G. W.F. Hegel's dialectic, while criticizing the ideas of Bruno Bauer, Max Stirner and Ludwig Feuerbach. Marx expanded his criticism of the latter in his now famous Theses on Feuerbach, found after Marx's death and published by Engels in 1888. Introduction to the Critique of Political Economy, also found among the posthumous papers of Marx, is a fragment of an introduction to his main works. Combining these three works, this volume is essential for an understanding of Marxism.
