Über den Autor
Eduard Bernstein (1850 - 1932) was a German social democratic Marxist theorist and politician. A member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), Bernstein had held close association to Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, but he began to identify what he believed to be errors in Marxist thinking and began to criticize views held by Marxism when he investigated and challenged the Marxist materialist theory of history. He rejected significant parts of Marxist theory that were based upon Hegelian metaphysics and rejected the Hegelian perspective of an immanent economic necessity to socialism.
Klappentext
?Herr Bernstein is a calm and dispassionate observer. The German readers of these reminiscences will find much that is valuable about the English; and we shall learn that we did not know of the influence which spread from London to German socialism.?-The Times (London) Literary Supplement
