Dialectics of Nature

Engels explores the relationship between dialectical materialism and the natural world, arguing that the principles of Marxism reflect the unfolding of nature. He examines key scientific advancements of the 19th century, such as cell theory and Darwinian evolution, to illustrate his points. The work critiques various unscientific ideologies, delving into concepts like causality and the interplay of chance and necessity. Although unfinished, it remains a significant theoretical contribution, complemented by Engels' essay on human evolution, highlighting the role of labor in our development.
