Philosophical Essays on Socialism and Science, Religion, Ethics; Critique-of-Reason and the World-at-Large

""A Philosophical Essays on Socialism and Science, Religion, Ethics; Critique-of-Reason and the World-at-Large"" is a collection of essays by the German philosopher Joseph Dietzgen. The book explores the relationship between socialism and science, religion, and ethics. Dietzgen critiques reason and its limitations, and argues that a materialist understanding of the world is necessary for true social change. He also examines the role of philosophy in shaping society and the importance of a socialist worldview in creating a just and equitable world. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of philosophy, politics, and social justice.1906. Translated by M. Beer and Th.
