One hundred years after the death of Friedrich Engels, the
long-time colleague of Karl Marx continues to influence the thought
of socialist thinkers. This critical reappraisal of Engels
addresses his relevance after both the death of Marx and the
decline of Marxism, bringing Engels out from under the shadow of
Marx to show the theoretical significance and historical impact of
his wide-ranging criticisms for philosophy, science, political
economy, history, and socialist politics. This collection of
original essays seeks to determine the nature of Engels's role as
an independent socialist thinker, showing how his views coincided
with or diverged from those of Marx. Leading experts in political
theory examine such topics as scientific socialism, Engels's
understanding of the relation between internationalism and the
"national question," and feminist views on Engels. The contributors
offer new readings of Engels's texts, pursuing errors and
omissions, uncovering his rhetorical maneuvers, and pointing to
insights and conclusions in his thought that appear to have
withstood the test of time. Engels after Marx attests both to the
legacy of this political philosopher for contemporary left thought
and to the legacy of Marxist socialism in the wake of upheavals in
international Communism. Manfred B. Steger is Assistant Professor
of Politics at Illinois State University and the author of The
Quest for Evolutionary Socialism: Eduard Bernstein and Social
Democracy (Cambridge, 1997). Terrell Carver is Professor of
Political Theory at the University of Bristol, England. He is the
author of Friedrich Engels: His Life and Thought (Macmillan, 1989)
and co-editor of Rational Choice Marxism (Penn State,1995).
