Joseph Dietzgen
Joseph Dietzgen
Born near Cologne in 1828, Joseph Dietzgen worked most of his life as a tanner. A self-educated man, he participated in the Revolution of 1848 where he first read the writings of Karl Marx and became one of his supporters. Exiled from Germany after the failed revolution, he spent time in both America and Russia, where he wrote his most famous work The Nature of Human Brain Work, published in 1869, before returning to Germany.

He became editor of the anarchist Chicagoer Arbeiterzeitung when its previous editors were hung by the State in response to the Haymarket bombings. When he died 2 years later he was buried beside them in Chicago.
