Frederick Engels argues that materialism provides a unified framework for understanding natural processes. Engels asserts that all facts, including those about the human mind, are causally dependent on physical processes, unlike idealism which posits consciousness as primary. Engels cites 19th century scientific advances like Wohler's synthesis of organic molecules from inorganic ones as disproving vitalism and establishing a materialist understanding of life. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection similarly explained the origins of organisms through physical laws rather than mystical forces. For Engels, scientific discoveries had explained nature as a system of interconnected physical processes, validating the materialist worldview.

2. Frederick Engels Prespective
Materialism by Engels and Idealism
Engels define that all fact include fact about
the human mind and will are causally depend
upon physical processes. Instead of idealism
that asserts the primancy of consciousness as
the origin and prerequisite of material
phenomena.

3. Unification Of Science Of Natural Processes
The mind body problem arises from doctrine
that physical and mental things are essentially
two distinct kinds of substances with uniquely
different properties.

4. Unification Of Science Of Natural Processes
Example of this issue is doctrine
Vitalisme : At first it was still mixed with
beliefs or myths. Therefore, vitalism has value,
but it does not seem suitable because
everything must be analyzed experimentally
based on scientific methods as has been stated
in the discussion on the presence or absence of
God.

Unification Of Science Of Natural Processes
Vitalism was disproved at 19th century after
wohler proved that organic molecules could be
synthesis from inorganic molecules.

6. Unification Of Science Of Natural Processes
Frederick Engels also argue that wohler
discoveries provide the basis by wich all
aspects of the universe can be understood in
terms of philosophy of materialism.

7. Transformation Of Energy And Motion
In the early, all the innumerable operative
cause in nature, which until then had led a
mysterious inexplicable existance as so called
“Forces”.
Until Robert Mayer, joule and colding proved
that we can demonstrate the transformation
energy and motion in the laboratory.

From this figure we know that mysterious
inexplicable existance as so called forces can
be explained physically.

Origins Of The Varieties Of Organisms
Darwin argue that evolution was happen in our human
life (see figure).Modification from the simple form
becomes the complex one.
But in the ethics we have to asked that is it true that
human evolve like Darwin said? Is that true?
Evolution is a process that has taken place over millions
of years. Specifically about human evolution, Darwin
argued that humans were the result of further
development of primate evolution. These creatures are
known as ancient humans. This theory of evolution
seems to be supported by various ancient human fossil
findings in various places in the world.
This human evolution process occurs in almost all
aspects (physical).

11. Scientific Materialism
Today, the whole nature is laid open before us
as a system of interconnection and process
which have been, at least in their main features,
ecplained, and comprehended.
Indeed, the materialistic outlook on nature
means no more than simply conceiving nature.
