Landmarks Of Scientific Socialism: Anti-Duehring (1907) - Hardcover

Landmarks of Scientific Socialism: Anti-Duehring is a book written by Friedrich Engels in 1907. The book is a critique of the work of Eugen Duehring, a German philosopher and economist who was a prominent figure in the socialist movement in the late 19th century. Engels' critique is aimed at Duehring's philosophical and economic ideas, which he argues are flawed and inconsistent.The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with Duehring's philosophy, which Engels argues is a mishmash of different ideas from various philosophers, without any coherent system or logic. Engels also criticizes Duehring's views on morality, religion, and the state, arguing that they are based on a flawed understanding of human nature.The second part of the book deals with Duehring's economic ideas, which Engels argues are also flawed and inconsistent. Engels criticizes Duehring's views on value, labor, and capital, arguing that they are based on a misunderstanding of the nature of economic relations.The third part of the book is a more general critique of the socialist movement at the time. Engels argues that many socialists were too focused on abstract theories and neglected the practical realities of political action. He also criticizes the tendency of some socialists to prioritize individual freedom over collective action.Overall, Landmarks of Scientific Socialism: Anti-Duehring is an important work in the history of socialist thought. It is a powerful critique of the ideas of one of the leading socialist thinkers of the time, and it helped to shape the direction of socialist theory and practice in the decades that followed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
