      title = {Friedrich Engels for the 21st century : reflections and  revaluations /},
      abstract = {This impressively internationalist collection is an  essential read for those interested in Engels. All  contributions present fresh perspectives based on the  latest research. They do full justice to the many areas in  which Engels displayed his prodigious talents. David  McLellan, Professor Emeritus of Political Theory,  University of Kent, UK This book contributes to the  liberation of Engels from the entrenched image that he is  the man who distorted and dogmatized Marx's theory. This  will allow us to appreciate Engels as an independent  theorist and to understand his great achievements as they  really are. Ryuji Sasaki, Associate Professor of Economics,  Rikkyo University, Japan This edited volume presents an  interdisciplinary and international revaluation of  Friedrich Engels as much more than "junior partner" to Karl  Marx or "second fiddle" in the Marxist orchestra. The  nineteen critical essays in this collection are the work of  scholars from Germany, USA, UK, Italy, China, India, Mexico  and the Philippines. Together they present and evaluate  archival material and scholarly commentary that covers  epistemology, political economy, political theory, gender  studies, cultural studies, political geography, philosophy  of social science and sociological studies of  class-conflict. Students, activists and specialists will  find fresh consideration of familiar works, such as The  Condition of the Working Class in England, The Origin of  the Family, Private Property and the State, and The  Dialectics of Nature. They will also be able to explore  Engelss less familiar pamphleteering, literary criticism  and political commentary through detailed contextualization  and careful analysis. Friedrich Engels for the 21st  Century: Perspectives and Problems is unique in putting  different intellectual and political receptions of Engelss  work into productive conversation, particularly from  non-Anglophone scholars, translated here into English.  Readers will appreciate why Engels has been so widely  celebrated some two hundred years after his birth. Terrell  Carver is Professor of Political Theory at the University  of Bristol, UK. He is co-general editor of the series  "Marx, Engels, and Marxisms." His most recent books are  Engels Before Marx, and The Life and Thought of Friedrich  Engels, 30th Anniversary Edition, both from Palgrave  Macmillan (2020). Smail Rapic is Professor of Philosophy at  the Bergische Universitat Wuppertal. He has published  widely on philosophical topics relating historical  materialism to classical thinkers, such as Rousseau, and to  contemporary philosophers, such as Habermas.},
