Sosialistisen filosofian juuret : Feuerbachin filosofian kritiikkiä

This volume presents Friedrich Engels’s early‑stage examination of Ludwig Feuerbach’s materialist critique of religion, set against the turbulent backdrop of 1848 Europe. Engels situates his analysis within the fledgling socialist movement, showing how the young Marx‑Engels partnership sought to turn philosophical debate into a practical guide for workers. The introductory remarks by Austin Lewis frame the text as a roadmap back to the moment when revolutionary ideas were still taking shape.

Engels proceeds step by step, unearthing the arguments that once animated German debates and re‑casting them for an English‑speaking audience. He highlights the complementary strengths of Marx’s sweeping logic and his own meticulous, problem‑solving approach, illustrating how their collaboration forged a new philosophical foundation. Listeners will find a thoughtful blend of historical context and rigorous critique that still resonates with today’s discussions of faith, materialism, and social change.
