Publisher's Synopsis
""A Philosophical Essays on Socialism and Science, Religion, Ethics; Critique-of-Reason and the World-at-Large"" is a collection of essays by Joseph Dietzgen, a German philosopher and socialist. The book explores the intersection of socialism, science, religion, and ethics, and critiques the ways in which reason is used to justify the status quo. Dietzgen argues that true socialism must be based on a scientific understanding of society, and that religion and ethics must be reinterpreted in light of this understanding. He also critiques the dominant philosophical schools of his time, including positivism and neo-Kantianism, and offers his own unique perspective on the relationship between knowledge and reality. Overall, ""A Philosophical Essays on Socialism and Science, Religion, Ethics; Critique-of-Reason and the World-at-Large"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the philosophical foundations of socialism and the role of reason in shaping our understanding of the world.1906.
