Bøker av Frederick Engels

Dans cet essai, Friedrich Engels explore le rôle fondamental de la violence dans le façonnement de l'histoire humaine. Il analyse diverses formes de violence, de l'individuelle à la sociale, et met en lumière leur impact sur les structures de pouvoir et l'évolution des sociétés.Engels soutient que la violence n'est pas simplement un moyen de perturbation, mais plutôt un moteur essentiel du changement social. Il examine en particulier la violence révolutionnaire comme un outil puissant pour renverser les structures de pouvoir existantes et instaurer de nouvelles formes d'organisation sociale.L'auteur établit une corrélation entre la violence et l'État, affirmant que l'État représente souvent l'organisation institutionnelle de la violence au service d'une classe dominante. Engels considère la violence révolutionnaire comme une force libératrice, citant des exemples tels que les révolutions françaises pour illustrer comment elle peut transformer radicalement la société.Bien qu'il reconnaisse les aspects éthiques complexes de la violence, Engels souligne son potentiel de libération et son rôle dynamique dans la création de nouvelles structures sociales. Il appelle à une réflexion approfondie sur la relation entre la violence et l'histoire, mettant en avant son rôle central dans le processus de changement social.

"The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844" by Frederick Engels is a powerful indictment of the Industrial Revolution's detrimental impact on workers. Engels meticulously demonstrates how industrial cities like Manchester and Liverpool experienced alarmingly high mortality rates due to diseases, with workers being four times more likely to succumb to illnesses like smallpox, measles, scarlet fever, and whooping cough compared to their rural counterparts. The overall death rate in these cities far surpassed the national average, painting a grim picture of the workers' plight. Engels goes beyond mortality statistics to shed light on the dire living conditions endured by industrial workers. He argues that their wages were lower than those of pre-industrial workers, and they were forced to inhabit unhealthy and unpleasant environments. Addressing a German audience, Engels' work is considered a classic account of the universal struggles faced by the industrial working class. It reveals his transformation into a radical thinker after witnessing the harsh realities in England. "The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844" remains an essential resource for understanding the hardships endured by workers during the Industrial Revolution. Engels' meticulous research and impassioned arguments continue to shape discussions on labor rights, social inequality, and the historical agency of the working class.

Friedrich Engels' masterly application of the philosophy of Marxism to questions of science and nature. As Engels himself pointed out, nature furnishes us with countless proofs of the truth of dialectics.

Der erste Akt des revolutionären Dramas auf dem europäischen Kontinent ist zu Ende. Die »Mächte der Vergangenheit« vor dem Sturm von 1848 sind wieder die »Mächte der Gegenwart«, und die mehr oder weniger populären Regenten, Triumvirn, Diktatoren, alle mit ihrem Gefolge von Abgeordneten, Zivilkommissaren, Militärkommissaren, Präfekten, Richtern, Generalen, Offizieren und Soldaten, sind an fremde Küsten verschlagen und »über See verschickt«, nach England oder Amerika, um dort neue Regierungen »in partibus infidelium«, europäische Komitees, Zentralkomitees, nationale Komitees zu bilden und ihr Kommen in Proklamationen anzukündigen, nicht minder feierlich als die eines weniger imaginären Potentaten.

Book Excerpt: ...relative social positions of man and wife, but the religious reflection of these conditions in the minds of men. Hence Bachofen represents the Oresteia of Aeschylos as the dramatic description of the fight between the vanishing maternal and the paternal law, rising and victorious during the time of the heroes.Klytaemnestra has killed her husband Agamemnon on his return from the Trojan war for the sake of her lover Aegisthos; but Orestes, her son by Agamemnon, avenges the death of his father by killing his mother. Therefore he is persecuted by the Erinyes, the demonic protectors of maternal law, according to which the murder of a mother is the most horrible, inexpiable crime. But Apollo, who has instigated Orestes to this act by his oracle, and Athene, who is invoked as arbitrator--the two deities representing the new paternal order of things--protect him. Athene gives a hearing to both parties. The whole question is summarized in the ensuing debate between Orestes and the Erinyes. Orestes claims that..

Friedrich Engels' treatise on family economics and its connection with human history and development is published here in full.Engels examines the primitive tribal societies of the Native Americans, where matriarchal arrangements were relatively commonplace. He proposes that the effects that monogamy and the increasing levels of private property decreased the influence of women in family life and thus the wider society; a process which Engels believed had advanced over thousands of years of advancing human civilization. Engels argues that women were able to bond and work together on a principle of sisterhood; he argues that this occurrence is a form of primitive communism. In the modern day, Engels' arguments in favor of matrilineal heritage in early human societies are generally disregarded. However, anthropologists such as Christopher Knight believe there is merit in Engels' claims, and criticize the prevailing views.
