The title Socialism: Utopian and Scientific was adopted for the English publication in 1892. Show Excerpt uestion, why in the great astronomer's Mecanique celeste the Creator was not even mentioned, proudly replied: Je n'avais pas besoin de cette hypothese. But nowadays, in our evolutionary conception of the universe, there is absolutely no room for either a Creator or a Ruler; and to talk of a Supreme Being shut out from the whole existing world, implies a contradiction in terms, and, as it seems to me, a gratuitous insult to the feelings of religious people. Again, our agnostic admits that all our knowledge is based upon the information imparted to us by our senses. But, he adds, how do we know that our senses give us correct representations of the objects we perceive through them? And he proceeds to inform us that, whenever he speaks of objects or their qualities, he does in reality not mean these objects and qualities, of which he cannot know anything for certain, but merely the impressions which they have produced on his senses.

You should read this book before you venture yourself in Das Kapital. Engels understood the man quite well and he gives you an opportunity to understand the scientific method applied by Marx in Das Kapital before you read those intense volumes. I read both together for my doctorate dissertation and Engels helped quite a lot to define my argumentative line in connection with Marx's theory. For that matter, read Marx in The Communit Manifesto to understand the classes struggle for economic power. If you wish to read Socialism: Utopian and Scientific but would like to have an insight from another author about economic historical facts, you should read Leo Huberman. He explains in a clear discourse the classes struggle for economic power in Man's Wordly Goods The Story of the Wealth of the Nations. Huberman unveils Marx's thoughts (and other philosophers of Economic theory) in his book. He published mainly for American readers, but was largely translated in many languages due to his writing style, I would guess.
