| + | ''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. | ||
