Sosialistisen filosofian juuret

by Friedrich Engels

Introduction by Austin Lewis · With contributions by Karl Marx · Translated by H. Puro

"Sosialistisen filosofian juuret: Feuerbachin filosofian kritiikkiä" by Friedrich Engels is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. The text explores the roots of socialist philosophy by analyzing the critiques of Ludwig Feuerbach and situating them within the broader context of Hegelian dialectics. Engels aims to dissect and refine philosophical ideas that have influenced socialist thought, particularly in relation to religion and materialism. The opening of the work introduces the historical backdrop of the 1848 revolutions and the development of radical philosophy in Germany. Engels details the important figures of Marx and himself who sought to articulate a materialistic philosophy that opposed the idealism of Hegel. He emphasizes Feuerbach's impact on socialist ideology by challenging existing religious and philosophical constructs, leading to a philosophical shift towards materialism. The early sections also hint at the significant debates occurring in the philosophical realm at the time, setting the stage for a detailed examination of Feuerbach’s contributions and the subsequent development of Engels' materialist perspectives.
