Friedrich Engels

Friedrich Engels appears in 178.母权论：伟大的错误or深刻的洞见？母权社会存在过吗？ as one of the later thinkers influenced by Johann Jakob Bachofen and Lewis Henry Morgan. The episode does not make Engels the main subject; it uses him to show how [[MotherRight|《母权论》 / Mother Right]] traveled into wider debates about family, property, kinship, and women’s status.

Within this source, Engels matters because Bachofen’s contested mother-right frame helped open a non-eternal view of patriarchy. Even if the ancient matriarchy thesis is not proven, the possibility that family forms changed historically is central to the episode’s Matriarchy Question.
