A landmark work of Marxist philosophy and political economy, Herr Eugen Dühring's Revolution in Science — commonly known as Anti-Dühring — presents Engels's comprehensive and systematic refutation of the German philosopher Eugen Dühring's sweeping claims across philosophy, political economy, and socialism. Written in the late 1870s, the text argues with rigorous intellectual force that Dühring's self-proclaimed revolutionary theories are riddled with contradictions and idealist fallacies, dismantling them point by point through the lens of dialectical materialism. Far more than a polemic, the work stands as one of the most thorough expositions of Marxist thought ever written, detailing the materialist conception of history, the nature of morality and law, and the foundations of scientific socialism. Engels's tone is sharp, combative, and at times wryly sardonic, reflecting both his mastery of the subject and his impatience with philosophical pretension. Generations of readers have turned to Anti-Dühring not only as a rebuttal of a long-forgotten rival, but as an indispensable primer on the core principles of Marxist theory.
