Is Dialectics of Nature a Part of the Modernist Frame Paradigm?

Both Marx and Engels were very well read in the natural sciences for men of their time. And I think this is really, it's not incidental but core to their whole intellectual project. It's sort of what situates the lineages of Marxist socialism in all of its incarnations. The point of dialectics of nature is precisely to resituate humans within nature. Humans are not separate from nature. We're made out of carbon, nitrogen, all that stuff.
