Philosopher Eugen Duehring, with great sound and fury, attempted to create a system that could challenge and replace Marxism. Friedrich Engels' response is a ruthless critique of Duehring philosophy as detailed in this book that was originally published as a series of articles for the Social Democratic Party of Germany. Engels allows Duehring his hour on the stage, but through an exploration of dialectic philosophy and historical materialism -the hallmarks of Marxism- Engels exposes Duehring's system for what it is; a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing.

This work is ultimately a staple of the Marxist canon. In Anti-Duehring, Engels synthesizes of the foundational elements of Marxism by starting with a discussion of philosophical foundations, moving to an exploration of political economy, and finally moving into the scientific conception of Socialism. Anti-Duehring not only functions as a rebuke of Eugen Duehring's thought, but also as a synopsis of the systematic theoretical groundwork laid by the founders of Scientific Socialism.
