Friedrich Engels

Friedrich Engels was a 19th-century German philosopher, social scientist, and co-founder of Marxism alongside Karl Marx. He significantly contributed to political philosophy and the study of history, arguing that material conditions shape society and its development. Engels championed socialism, advocating for a classless society where workers own the means of production. He analyzed the concepts of sovereignty and power, emphasizing the role of economic forces in societal structures. His work laid the foundation for critical theory, influencing later thinkers in exploring the intersections of culture, society, and politics, while seeking solutions to social injustices.
