Publisher's Synopsis
Novack defends scientific socialism-the generalization of the historic line of march of the working class. In articles from "In Defense of Engels" to "Is Nature Dialectical?" Novack answers those who throughout the twentieth century sought to provide a "philosophical" veneer for the anti-working-class course of Stalinist and social democratic misleaderships around the world. "Essays defending...dialectical materialism...as the most valuable philosophical-scientific method for understanding and transforming society....The essays take up important issues posed by both defenders and critics of scientific materialism." -Research Book News
