  Dietzgen Centenary - WSPUS
Joseph Dietzgen was the last line of philosophers who placed the human mind in its proper place in the universe and laid the foundation of a dialectical reasoning.
While bourgeois philosophers searched for truth in the mind itself and the materialists searched for it outside of it, Dietzgen showed that it was neither: that the mind was a process interrelated with all other processes in the universe and that mind and matter interacted one upon the other in the same proportion.
Joseph Dietzgen died in Chicago in 1888, but left behind him a great legacy for the working class in their struggle for freedom.

By the early I870s Dietzgen was already a prominent figure in the German socialist movement.
In a letter to their mutual friend Friedrich Sorge, Engels objected to Dietzgen's anarchism, but added that "the moment may excuse this" and reaffirmed his confidence in the old philosopher who, he felt, was "on the right track." Engels was far more critical of the "fine gang.
Dietzgen's farflung influence was entirely posthumous, however, for he died two years after Haymarket.

 DIALECTICAL MARXISM: The Writings of Bertell Ollman
Dietzgen's contribution to the solution of this problem is his account of what can occur in individuation and what does occur.
According to Dietzgen, therefore, the whole is revealed in certain standard parts (in which some thinkers have sought to reestablish the relations of the whole), because these are the parts in which human beings through conceptualization have actually fragmented the whole.
Though Dietzgen makes a determined assault on the empiricist dogma that perception is passive and that our mind merely registers the effect produced upon it by external reality, his account of the conceptualization process remains partial.

Marx noemt hem op het Haagse congres van de Internationale in 1872 ‘onze filosoof’ en heeft eens gesteld dat Dietzgen een van de geniaalste arbeiders is. Politiek speelt hij in Chicago in 1886 een rol in de roemruchte ‘Haymarket’-affaire, die mede aanleiding vormt voor de latere jaarlijkse 1 mei-viering van de internationale arbeidersbeweging.
Dietzgen boeit omdat hij klassieke vragen behandelt die nog steeds de filosofie bezighouden.
Zelf suggereert Dietzgen een oplossing die verwant is aan het denken van Feuerbach, en aan dat van Marx en Engels.

Joseph Dietzgen wrote in the 1850s and 1860s but the relevance of his work did not become apparent on a mass scale until long after his death in 1888.
Dietzgen had realised that this misguided dualism had resulted in a historic division between materialism and idealism which had lasted many centuries.
Casey followed Dietzgen in that whilst he did not deny the essential philosophical difference between materialism and idealism — materialism has an emphasis on a primary material world, whilst idealism primarily emphasises consciousness — Casey shows that it is possible to overcome the one-sided errors in the relationship between materialism and idealism.

Indeed, it would be remiss of me to forget to mention that possibly the initial inventor of Marxist philosophy was Joseph Dietzgen, a humble worker and self-educated intellectual, who attempted to show that Marxism was actually a specific expression of the historical development of philosophical and scientific thought.
This view is not an aberration from Marxism, but is actually expressed in Joseph Dietzgen’s neglected elaboration of dialectical materialism.

Dietzgen's ideas had been challenged from a Marxist standpoint before.
It is also true that in republishing Dietzgen's writings, his son, Eugene Dietzgen, did try to set them up in opposition to the revolutionary side of Marxism and as additional to Marx's own, coining the term 'proletarian monism' to characterise them.
But for our purposes the point is not how good or bad Dietzgen's thought was in itself, but that, to a broad layer of working class activists, this thought effectively was philosophy.

This last statement is one of the inexactitudes of Dietzgen’s which led Marx, in one of his letters to Kugelmann, to speak of the confusion in Dietzgen’s views.
But Dietzgen corrects himself on the same page : “When I say that the consciousness of eternal, absolute truth is innate in us, that it is the one and only a priori knowledge, experience also confirms this innate consciousness” (p.
From all these statements by Engels and Dietzgen it is obvious that for dialectical materialism there is no impassable boundary between relative and absolute truth.

Dietzgen, a "self-proclaimed materialist" had recognised that thinking as well as objects could be the object of thought.
But in a somewhat neo-Kantian manner, he argued that whilst "our brains do not grasp the things themselves but only the concepts", the concepts for were quite adequate for "practical living" in a rational human society run by the producers.

 Science and Society: OVERVIEW PAGE
Vlachou's serious approach, grounded in the overdeterminist or post-Althusserian tradition, identifies ways in which ecological effects of capitalist accumulation both are and are not reflected in capitalism's own calculations, and sees the eventual outcome of this process as rooted in multiple contradictions and the struggles waged over them.
Tony Burns, in his study "Joseph Dietzgen and the History of Marxism," looks again at this remarkable and still little known German printer who independently developed the essential doctrines of (what came to be called) Marxism; in fact, the first use of the term "dialectical materialism" is attributed to him.
Burns emphasizes Dietzgen's contribution to philosophy, especially his attempt to overcome what he saw as the one-sidedness of both classical materialism and idealism, and his early emphasis on psychology in relation to consciousness.

Joseph Dietzgen, in his Philosophical works, has demonstrated the fact that all of man's ideas come from the OUTSIDE--that no thought ever sprang spontaneous in the human brain.
Through them all we are continually brought round to the dictum of Dietzgen, that "human thoughts and ideas spring from human experiences."
History furnishes us with many instances of great popular and class movements, but it was not until Marx enunciated the Law of Economic Determinism, that a rational basis for the interpretation of these events was secured.
