Engels' \u003ci\u003eDialectics of Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, a torso for some and a great book for others, is a case in point. The entire Engels debate separates into two opposite views: Engels the contaminator of Marx's \"new materialism\" vs. Engels the self-educated genius of dialectical materialism. What Engels, unlike Marx, has not enjoyed so far is a critical reading that considers the relationship between different layers of this standard text: authorial, textual, editorial, and interpretational. Informed by a historical hermeneutic, this book questions the elements that structure the debate on the \u003ci\u003eDialectics of Nature\u003c\/i\u003e. It analyzes different political and philosophical functions attached to Engels' text, and relocates the meaning of the term \"dialectics\" into a more precise context. Arguing that Engels' dialectics is less complete than we usually think it is but that he achieved more than most scholars would like to admit, this book fully documents and critically analyzes Engels' intentions and concerns in the \u003ci\u003eDialectics of Nature\u003c\/i\u003e, the process of writing, and its reception and edition history in order to reconstruct the solved and unsolved philosophical problems in this unfinished work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaan Kangal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030343340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030343347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Kaan Kangal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941000806655,"sku":"9783030343347","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6f3e73b2-e63e-409a-8e2a-34daa56a4eae.jpg?v=1681450347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/friedrich-engels-and-the-dialectics-kaan-kangal-9783030343347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
