I think my broadest exposure to Engels was in Freedom and Necessity. I don't know Emma Bull enough to be able to say which author wrote what (and in fact, I think in F&N they were trying to create separate, independent voices for each character, but also create a cohesive whole in terms of tone, an endeavor in which I believe they succeeded), but the conversations with Engels seemed to me to allude to some of the ideas in Teckla and Phoenix. But of course, I could be mistaken… Jose -- Jose Marquez jhereg69 at earthlink.net
