Marx and Engels on the History of Science and Technology

Dirk Struik

A chapter in Amphora, 1992, pp 737-749 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Marx’ main contribution to the understanding of the natural sciences was his insistence on their basic social character. He had learned from HEGEL that facts had to be seen as elements in a process, hence historical facts as elements in a historical process, and science could therefore only be understood in history. The same, of course, holds for technology, whose basic social function is far more obvious.1
