In this biography of Friedrich Engels (1820-95) the reader will not find a compendium of every known fact about him. Those who already know something about Engels will doubtless find some favourite incident or anecdote missing from my account. But I hope that my choice of questions to put to the historical record, and my attempts to find answers, will stimulate interest in Engels the man, his career and the issues that concerned him. The guiding questions for the work as a whole are as follows: What is the intellectual and political legacy of Friedrich Engels? What does an investigation of his life disclose to us about his works, his character, his associates and his times? How does this knowledge affect our view of Karl Marx (1818-83}, the history and current state of Marxism, and contemporary politics? The guiding questions for each chapter are made explicit as this work progresses. In some cases the reader will note that I offer several possible answers to the questions I have posed, because I have found the record inconclusive. It seems to me honest and informative to explore anumber of explanations rather than merely to opt for one at random, or worse, to back up a pre-existing view. I have considered Engels's relationship with Marx in works listed in the Guide to Further Reading in the present volume, and I have come to conclusions about their relationship which the interested reader can examine. In this biography the focus is on Engels himself, not Engels the junior partner to Marx, the sup­ posed role on which most attention has been focused. Engels put immense emphasis on that view of their relationship, particularly in retrospect, since he outlived Marx by some twelve years. The reader will find that I treat those autobiographical comments with the same scepticism that applies elsewhere in examining sources. I have set the agenda for the present volume as I think best for exploring and understanding Engels's life and thought as they can be reconstructed from surviving materials. I have not allowed the XV xvi Friedrich Engels: His Life and Thought interpretive tradition established by Engels himself and by various memoirists to dictate the agenda. Also, I have not been swayed by the sheer quantity of materials in constructing my own scheme and narrative, but have instead focused selectively on what was formative for Engels and what has remained influential in politics. I hope that readers will not prejudge my agenda as wrong simply because it is not traditional. In fact I hope that they will see my work in a favourable light precisely for that reason. Engels is much taken for granted, and very little studied. Even when his writings are scrutinized, the object is very often the curious one of attempting to show that Marx agreed with certain portions of them. The use Engels himself made of Marx's insights is seldom examined, because Engels's thought is almost never taken as an object of study in its own right. His life is similarly subordinated to those points at which he becomes important to the various views intellectual historians have taken about Marx. The present work is entitled Friedrich Engels: His Life and Thought, and the subtitle means what it says. Chapters 1-4 of this biography present a detailed analysis of Engels's early development up to his twenty-fifth year.

The introduction introduces Engels’s life and works and gives an overview of the special issue’s contributions. Keywords: Friedrich Engels, 200th birthday, anniversary, digital capitalism, Karl Marx Date of Publication: 28 November 2020 CC-BY-NC-ND: Creative Commons License, 2021. 2 Christian Fuchs 1. Friedrich Engels’s Life Friedrich Engels was born on 28 November 1820 in Barmen, a city in North Rhine- Westphalia, Germany, that has since 1929 formed a district of the city Wuppertal. In the early 19th century, Barmen was one of the most important manufacturing centres in the German-speaking world. He was the child of Elisabeth Franziska Mauritia Engels (1797-1873) and Friedrich Engels senior (1796-1860). The Engels family was part of the capitalist class and operated a business in the cotton manufacturing industry, which was one of the most important industries. In 1837, Engels senior created a business partnership with Peter Ermen called Ermen & Engels. The company operated cotton mills in Manchester (Great Britain) and Engelskirchen (Germany). Other than Marx, Engels did not attend university because his father wanted him to join the family business so that Engels junior already at the age of 16 started an ap- prenticeship in commerce.

  • A Letter to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
    A Letter to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels Karl Marx 946 Communist Way London , United Kingdom W11 2BQ Dear Comrade Karl and Comrade Friedrich: I write to you in appreciation and admiration. I have just read your Manifesto of the Communist Party and I have found it to be an outstanding analysis of industrial society. However, times have changed. And while I found your manifesto to be an incredibly well-written, scathing critique of capitalism, a primer on communism, a new way of looking at history and an incisive sociological study, the manifesto needs to be updated and given a facelift for modern times. Nevertheless, your work today is just as pertinent as it was in 1848. The collapse of the United States’ real estate market and the ensuing global recession of 2008 have engendered renewed interests in your ideas. Communism has a seat at the table of ideas in the modern world if it can to be adapted to the modern problems of capitalism by becoming more democratic, respecting the individual, adapting to a market based economy and readdressing the problems of wealth inequality and quality of life. I have found the most startling aspect of your manifesto to be its complete disregard for democracy. Your manifesto is a vitriolic attack on the iniquities of capitalism and offers communism as the sole alternative. Yet, the modern era, with its emphasis on human rights, has obviated the totalitarian nature that your essay suggests. The horrors of starvation and genocide in the Soviet Union, Cambodia , Red China and North Korea have made people wary of anything that reeks of communism.

Dickens: From Pickwick to Dombey 1. The means Dickens employs, in Pickwick Papers, to achieve the idealization of the relation of father and son is not unfamiliar to us in the literature of a later age: he provides Sam with two fathers, a plenitude in which, like Kipling's Kim but unlike Joyce's Stephen Dedalus, Sam luxuriates. On the one hand there is the actual father, Tony, with whom Sam is altogether intimate and direct, for over him Tony holds only the authority of affection: when he and Sam initially meet in the novel, it is the first time in more than two years that they have seen each other.

I. LENIN KARL MARX KARL MARX was born May 5, 1818, in the city of Trier, in the Rhine province of Prussia. His father was a lawyer-a Jew, who in 1824 adopted Protestantism. The family was well-to-do, cultured, bu~ not revolutionary. After graduating from the Gymnasium in Trier, Marx entered first the University at Bonn, later Berlin University, where he studied 'urisprudence, but devoted most of his time to history and philosop y. At th conclusion of his uni­ versity course in 1841, he submitted his doctoral dissertation on Epicure's philosophy:* Marx at that time was still an adherent of Hegel's idealism. In Berlin he belonged to the circle of "Left Hegelians" (Bruno Bauer and others) who sought to draw atheistic and revolutionary conclusions from Hegel's philosophy. After graduating from the University, Marx moved to Bonn in the expectation of becoming a professor. However, the reactionary policy of the government,-that in 1832 had deprived Ludwig Feuer­ bach of his chair and in 1836 again refused to allow him to teach, while in 1842 it forbade the Y0ung professor, Bruno Bauer, to give lectures at the University-forced Marx to abandon the idea of pursuing an academic career.

  • The Moral Imagination: from Edmund Burke to Lionel Trilling'
    H-Albion Weaver on Himmelfarb, 'The Moral Imagination: From Edmund Burke to Lionel Trilling' Review published on Sunday, July 1, 2007 Gertrude Himmelfarb. The Moral Imagination: From Edmund Burke to Lionel Trilling. Chicago: Ivan R. Dee Publisher, 2006. xv + 259 pp. $26.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-56663-624-7; $16.95 (paper), ISBN 978-1-56663-722-0. Reviewed by Stewart Weaver (Department of History, University of Rochester)Published on H- Albion (July, 2007) Divided Natures In this latest of her several collections of occasional essays, Gertrude Himmelfarb offers subtle appreciations of some notable thinkers and writers who besides being "eminently praiseworthy" in themselves have, she says, enriched her life and been especially important to her own political and philosophical development (p. ix). Though with one exception all of the essays have appeared in print before--some of them more than once, oddly--together they have original interest both for their close juxtaposition and for what they reveal about the evolving interests and attitudes of a prominent American Victorianist. The oldest essay, an "untimely appreciation" of the popular novelist John Buchan, dates to 1960; the most recent, a centenary tribute to Lionel Trilling, dates to 2005. The rest range in origin widely across the intervening forty-five years and they encompass a wide variety of subjects. Not surprisingly, given what we know of Himmelfarb's own post-Trotskyite disposition, many of her characters (Edmund Burke, Benjamin Disraeli, Michael Oakeshott, Winston Churchill) are recognizably conservative. But conservatism is a loose category, especially in the British context, and Himmelfarb is not unduly bound by it.

  • A Dissertation Entitled Yoshimoto Taka'aki's Karl Marx
    A Dissertation Entitled Yoshimoto Taka’aki’s Karl Marx: Translation and Commentary By Manuel Yang Submitted as partial fulfillment for the requirements for The Doctor of Philosophy in History ________________________ Adviser: Dr. Peter Linebaugh ________________________ Dr. Alfred Cave ________________________ Dr. Harry Cleaver ________________________ Dr. Michael Jakobson ________________________ Graduate School The University of Toledo August 2008 An Abstract of Yoshimoto Taka’aki’s Karl Marx: Translation and Commentary Manuel Yang Submitted as partial fulfillment for the requirements for The Doctor of Philosophy in History The University of Toledo August 2008 In 1966 the Japanese New Left thinker Yoshimoto Taka’aki published his seminal book on Karl Marx. The originality of this overview of Marx’s ideas and life lay in Yoshimoto’s stress on the young Marx’s theory of alienation as an outgrowth of a unique philosophy of nature, whose roots went back to the latter’s doctoral dissertation. It echoed Yoshimoto’s own reformulation of “alienation” (and Marx’s labor theory of value) as key concept in his theory of literary language (What is Beauty in Language), which he had just completed in 1965, and extended his argument -- ongoing from the mid-1950s -- with Japanese Marxism over questions of literature, politics, and culture. His extraction of the theme of “communal illusion” from the early Marx foregrounds his second major theoretical work of the decade, Communal Illusion, which he started to serialize in 1966 and completed in 1968, and outlines an important theoretical closure to the existential, political, and intellectual struggles he had waged since the end of the ii Pacific War.
