Marx & Engels Collected Works Vol 25: Engels:Dialectics of Nature

The Marx/Engels Collected Works is the largest collection of translations of the complete works of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels covering the period 1835-1895. The 50 volumes contain all the written works of Marx and Engels including formerly unpublished manuscripts and letters. The volumes are organised into three groups: (1) philosophical, historical, political, economic and other works, in chronological order; (2) Marx’s Capital with his preliminary versions and works directly connected with it, particularly the Economic Manuscripts of 1857-58, better known under the editorial heading Grundisse der Kritik der Politischen Okonomie ; (3) the letters of Marx and Engels which are extremely rich in theoretical content and provide an indispensable source for the study of the biographies of Marx and Engels. This digital collection gives scholars access to the complete oeuvre in a fully searchable format. Volume 25 contains two of Engels’ most celebrated works, Anti-Duhring and Dialectics of Nature. In Anti-Duhring Engels set forth the basics of Marxism and summed up the new trends in social development and the latest findings of natural science. In the Dialectics of Nature he gave the first ever comprehensive Marxist analysis of the relation between philosophy and natural science, demonstrating their inseparable nexus and constant interaction. Once again he defined the content of materialist dialectics as the science of universal interconnection and the most general laws of every form of motion: the laws governing the development of nature, society and human thought.
