This way of thought wes first concretely orystaltized in their Joint work, The Ger-an Ideology, written in 1645and 1846.

But Marx and Engels did not ston with the mere creation of a philosoohy; for as Marx said,"the philosophers have only interpreted the world dicferently, the point ts to chinge it."
