Происхождение семьи, частной собственности и государства

Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) is known in the history of human thought as one of the founders of Marxism, co-author of the philosophical and economic works of Karl Marx, including the famous "Capital" and "The Communist Manifesto". "The Origin of the... Family, Private Property and the State" is one of Engels' most important works, in which the German philosopher offers a scientific concept of the history of humanity in its early stages of development, shows how class society was formed and what its characteristic features are, describes the peculiarities of family relations in various social formations, and also analyzes the origin and essence of the state. Like his other works, among which are "Anti-Dühring", "Dialectics of Nature", "The Role of Violence in History" and many others, this work can be called a classic of the philosophical genre and can be read anew today, considering the complex experience that has accumulated during the tragic and eventful 20th century.
