Anti-Dühring (Herr Eugen Dühring's Revolution in Science)

"Anti-Dühring" is a book by Friedrich Engels that critiques the ideas of Eugen Dühring, a philosopher and scientist. Dühring promoted ideas that mixed socialism with pseudoscience, opposing Marxist theory. Engels systematically exposes Dühring’s errors in philosophy, science, and socialism, arguing for a scientific approach based on dialectical materialism—a way of understanding change and development in nature and society. The work aims to defend Marxist ideas from Dühring's distortions, emphasizing that scientific progress and social change should be rooted in empirical evidence and logical analysis rather than dogma or false science.
