Über den Autor

Friedrich Engels (1820-1895), a revolutionary German philosopher, social scientist, and journalist, was a seminal thinker in the development of socialist theory alongside his lifelong friend and collaborator, Karl Marx. Engels is renowned for his insightful and searing examination of the industrial society of his time. In one of his most notable works, 'The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844 with a Preface written in 1892,' Engels provides an in-depth investigation into the lives and struggles of the English proletariat, offering a ground-breaking critique of the devastating effects of industrial capitalism. His penetrating analysis reflects his direct experiences in Manchester, where he managed his father's factory. Engels's fundamental contributions to Marxist theory, such as the dialectical materialist approach to history and social critique, are evident in this work. He masterfully navigates the socioeconomic conditions, systematically unveiling the harsh realities faced by workers and eloquently arguing for sociopolitical reforms. As a co-author of 'The Communist Manifesto' and key supporter of Marx in the production of 'Das Kapital,' Engels's intellectual legacy profoundly influenced the trajectory of socialist thought and action, making him an indispensable figure in the history of political economy and social theory.
