Die deutsche Ideologie
The book created a controversy with much of the press and caused Bruno Bauer to attempt to refute the book in an article published in "Vierteljahrsschrift" in 1845. Bauer claimed that Marx and Engels misunderstood what he was trying to say. Marx later replied to his response with his own article published in the journal "" in January 1846. Marx also discussed the argument in chapter 2 of "The German Ideology".
