Publisher's Synopsis
Feuerbach: The Roots Of The Socialist Philosophy is a book written by Frederick Engels in 1903. The book explores the philosophical ideas of Ludwig Feuerbach, a German philosopher who had a significant influence on the development of socialism. Engels argues that Feuerbach's materialist philosophy paved the way for socialist thought and provided a framework for understanding the relationship between humans and their environment.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a biographical sketch of Feuerbach, outlining his intellectual development and his contributions to philosophy. The second part delves into Feuerbach's materialist philosophy, examining his ideas on religion, human nature, and society. Engels argues that Feuerbach's materialism provides a foundation for socialist thought, which seeks to understand the material conditions that shape human existence.The third and final part of the book discusses the influence of Feuerbach's ideas on the development of socialism. Engels argues that Feuerbach's materialism provided a critical framework for understanding the social and economic forces that shape human society. He also explores the ways in which Feuerbach's ideas were adapted and refined by other socialist thinkers, including Marx and Engels themselves.Overall, Feuerbach: The Roots Of The Socialist Philosophy is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical ideas that underpin socialist thought. Engels' analysis of Feuerbach's materialism provides a valuable framework for understanding the relationship between humans and their environment, and the book is an important contribution to the history of socialist philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
