Some 2,400 years later, Friedrich Engels echoed Anaximander's dialectic: "Everything that comes into being must pass away." ''Science, Marxism and the Big Bang'' discusses some of the great philosophies and scientific discoveries of cosmology - including those of Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Kant, Hegel, Engels and Einstein. This discussion dispels the misconceptions of ''Reason in Revolt'' - the book by Ted Grant and Alan Woods that claims to expound the fundamentals of Marxism - in particular that the Big Bang theory is just another "creation myth". Engels praised Immanuel Kant's theory of the "origin of all existing celestial bodies". Peter Manson argues that Engels' outlook is compatible with modern theories of the origins of our universe.
