Although Friedrich Engels was Marx7;s intellectual partner, he has
been one of the most neglected of the major socialist thinkers.
This major book aims neither to defend Engles or debunk him, but
rather to engage with his thought in order to offer a critical
assessment of the philosophy, social theory, and politics of
Marxism. S.H. Rigby shows how many of the key issues of Marxist
thought, such as Marxism7;s debt to Hegelianism, the nature of
historical materialism and the relationship between class and
gender, were most explicitly dealt with Engels, rather than by Marx
himself. He examines Engels7; contribution to the genesis of
Marxism in the years before 1848, and examines the extent to which
Engles7; later writings departed for his and Marx7;s outlook of the
18407;s, He asks whether Marx shared Engels7; intellectual
development, questions recent attempts to divorce the views of Marx
from those of Engels, and criticizes those Marxists who have used
Engels as a scapegoat in order to avoid a confrontation with
problems that lie at the very heart of Marxism.
