          I’m sure there’s a lot of interesting reflections in there, especially for people wanting to develop theory further! I guess to a degree that’s what Engels himself had to do in order to finish up volume 2 and especially 3.

          By published works I meant to refer to the writings that were intended for publication, but I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with looking beyond them.

          Personally I’m more interested in theory. Considering Das Kapital is 3000 pages of dense theory already, I still have a while to go before I need to move on to private correspondence.
