Abstract

Using the immanent analysis, this article addresses Engels' position on materialism, showing that he doesn´t have an uncritical approach to such tradition. In the development of what he calls materialist conception of history, he shows the revolutionary and the limited character of French materialism. Therefore, it would be necessary to overcome both: the dialectic developed under German soil, related to the classical German philosophy, Feuerbach included, and French materialism.
