Features: This volume includes the works written by Engels from December 1833 to October 1842. Except for a few literary essays from his secondary school days, the majority of the works were written during his internship and business period in Bremen and his military service in Berlin. These works reflect the formation process of his revolutionary democratic thought and materialist worldview. Engels closely followed the intellectual struggles and social realities of Germany at the time. He wrote a series of articles titled "Letters from Bremen" for the newspaper "Morning Paper of the Intellectual World" and the journal "General Review," each with different content. In "Rationalism and Pietism" and "The Theological Controversy," he commented on the debates between Pietism and Rationalism in theology, exposed the mystical characteristics of Pietism, affirmed the positive role of Rationalism, and called for unity under the banner of reason to fight against the dark forces of religion.
