Engels' Dialectics of Nature

Engels' "Dialectics of Nature" explores the interconnectedness of nature and society through the lens of historical materialism. He argues that natural processes evolve through contradictions and changes, similar to social and historical developments. This means that both nature and human society are dynamic and shaped by material conditions. Engels emphasizes that understanding nature's dialectical processes can help us grasp how social change occurs. Ultimately, his work illustrates that to comprehend human history, we must also consider the broader natural context in which it evolves, highlighting the unity of natural and social phenomena.
