Summary

"Socialism, Utopian and Scientific" by Friedrich Engels is a book exploring socialism through a scientific lens. It contrasts idealistic utopian socialism with scientific socialism, which Engels promotes as rooted in material conditions and class struggles. The text examines the historical rise of socialism with societal class divisions, namely between capitalists and wage workers. Influenced by revolutionary philosophies, Engels discusses figures like Saint Simon, Fourier, and Owen, stressing the need for a scientific approach to socialism based on real- world societal conditions. The writing builds the case for understanding socialism through material conditions and class struggles to scientifically discover its principles.
