	Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach (July 28, 1804 – September 13, 1872), German philosopher, fourth son of the eminent jurist Paul Johann Anselm Ritter von Feuerbach, was born in Landshut, Bavaria and died in Rechenberg (since 1899 a district of Nuremberg).
		Feuerbach denied that he was rightly called an atheist, but the denial is merely verbal: what he calls "theism" is atheism in the ordinary sense.
		Feuerbach labours under the same difficulty as Fichte; both thinkers strive in vain to reconcile the religious consciousness with subjectivism.

	Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach
		Feuerbach argues that Hegel's speculative metaphysics of "pure spirit" really must be understood as the culmination of movement that originated in the speculative theology of the Middle Ages when the naïve notion of a personal deity was conceptualized as an infinite, omniscient, omni-benevolent, necessary being.
		Feuerbach's notion that sensuousness is the unique way in which persons related to the world is at once his most distinctive idea and the most difficult to render intelligible, not to speak of precise.
		Feuerbach had concluded from this that one of the most important philosophical and cultural tasks of his generation was to revise the way human beings thinking about the relationship of mind to nature because it was the notion of "spirit" that was crucial to both idealism and Christianity.

		THESES ON FEUERBACH Karl Marx -- 1845 I The chief defect of all hitherto existing materialism (that of Feuerbach included) is that the thing, reality, sensuousness, is conceived only in the form of the _object or of contemplation_, but not as _sensuous human activity, practice_, not subjectively.
		Feuerbach, who does not enter upon a criticism of this real essence, is consequently compelled: 1.
		VII Feuerbach, consequently, does not see that the "religious sentiment" is itself a social product, and that the abstract individual whom he analyses belongs to a particular form of society.

		Feuerbach pointed out that it's impossible to describe God as though describing either an object or a class of objects.
		Feuerbach has often been criticised for reducing theology (God-talk) to anthropology (man-talk), though this is far from the truth.
		The larger result Feuerbach wants from his approach to religion, however, is no less than the liberation of mankind from invisible, fictitious chains which bind us to a misconceived concept of the divine.

	THE DEBATE BETWEEN FEUERBACH AND STIRNER: AN INTRODUCTION
		Feuerbach presented a theory of knowledge which was based on the sense-immediate intuition of particulars; yet his epistemology was also as abstract, mediated and universal as that of Hegel.
		Feuerbach had no right to talk of a "common human potentiality" in view of the fact that some individuals have so outstripped their fellows in capacity that they are "Unique." Here Stirner used Uniqueness to refer to a distinction due to a level of excellence.
		Feuerbach is, to be sure, not a materialist (Stirner never said he was, but described him only as a materialist who bears the properties of idealism); he is not a materialist, for while he imagines that he is talking about actual men, he says nothing about them.

		1854), Feuerbach stated that the existence of religion is justifiable only in that it satisfies a psychological need; a person's essential preoccupation is with the self, and the worship of God is actually worship of an idealized self.
		According to Feuerbach, people and their material needs should be the foundation of social and political thought.
		An individual and his or her mind, he held, are products of their environment; the whole consciousness of a person is the result of the interaction of sensory organs and the external world.

	Theses on Feuerbach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Theses on Feuerbach" are eleven short philosophical notes written by Karl Marx in 1845.
		But the text is often seen as more ambitious than this, criticizing the contemplative materialism of the Young Hegelians alongside all forms of philosophical idealism.
		Marx did not publish the "Theses on Feuerbach" during his lifetime; they were later edited by Friedrich Engels and published in 1888, with the original text emerging in 1924.

		He asserted that religious feeling is simply a product of man’s yearnings and maintained that the proper study of philosophy is not what transcends experience but man himself and nature, on which humanity rests.
		Although Feuerbach approaches materialism in his later works, man for him is not to be regarded as simply a product of matter.

		Treating of God in his various aspects as a being of the understanding, as a moral being or law, as love and so on, Feuerbach shows that in every aspect God corresponds to some feature or need of human nature.
		Feuerbach labors under the same difficulty as Fichte; both thinkers strive n vain to reconcile the religious consciousness with subjectivism.
		But many of his ideas were taken up by those who, like Arnold Ruge, had entered into the struggle between church and state in Germany, and those who, like F. Engels and Karl Marx, were leaders in the revolt of labor against the power of capital.

		Hyppolite notes that 'Feuerbach preserves religion only to negate its essential elements.' [15] Indeed, he considered the critique of religion to be essential to human emancipation, for it was within religion that he believed he had found the paradigm for the process of alienation.
		[20] Feuerbach's critique of dogmatic belief was accompanied by an attack on orthodox (Christian) philosophers, whom he condemned as anthropomorphizing philosophers, bound to the finitude of sense-imagery, and unable to transcend the faculty of imagination to engage in reason.
		Feuerbach's emphasis was on 'turning inward in search of a solution for self-alienation, whereas...(Marx's focus was on)...the need to turn outward against the world.' [26] Marx demanded the radical alteration of existing life situations in state and society in order for full human nature to be realized.

		Feuerbach's fame among the radical Hegelians, or notoriety among the conservatives, was early and immediately assured upon the publication, in 1830, of his work, Gedanken über Tod und Unsterblichkeit.
		Feuerbach stops short of fully and completely concretizing man. Sometimes he speaks of man as indeed fully concretized—as the earthly, finite human individual —but at other times he is speaking of genetic man, of man in general, of the human species.
		The general view was, and to a large extent remains, that Feuerbach had said everything of importance that he had to say by 1845, and that his subsequent work is either a mere repetition or a falling-away into positions (such as "vulgar materialism") which he had effectively criticized earlier.

	Marx's ``Theses on Feuerbach'' A Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Feuerbach, Marx writes, has moved from ``abstract thinking'' to ``sensuous contemplation'' (§5), but this move, for Marx, is not far enough.
		What Feuerbach fails to recognize, in Marx's view, is that religious sentiment and human essence or human nature are themselves social products (§7), and that society is ``essentially practical,'' which is to say, society consists primarily in the intercourse of people on a practical basis.
		In Feuerbach's conception, society can only be understood as a collection of individuals (§9), whereas, once practical activity is properly accounted for, society can be understood as ``associated humanity,'' which is more closely connected in their shared engagement in practical activity for human ends (§10).

	Feuerbach’s Religious Illusion
		In Feuerbach’s own words: "Man—this is the mystery of religion—projects his being into objectivity, and then again makes himself an object to this projected image of himself thus converted into a subject." What the devout mind worships as God is accordingly nothing but the idea of the human species imagined as a perfect individual.
		Feuerbach’s "felicity principle," as Harvey calls it, assumes that the point of being religious is to secure one’s well-being both here and hereafter.
		Feuerbach was too good an interpreter of religion to overlook the phenomenon of self-abnegation, which he read as a subtle form of self-love.

		Feuerbach falls into a dualistic world view giving the devil real power and existence which is one of the faults that the Catholics point out in Augustine- a hang over from his days of Manichaeism.

	Jónas Hallgrímsson: Feuerbach's Nihilism
		In the manuscript of Jónas's translation, he has written the Danish phrase "Nihilisme Feuerbachs" ("Feuerbach's Nihilism") in the margin to the right of the first strophe, probably intending it as a title.
		The point of Feuerbach's lines (in Feuerbach's context) is that it is the total dissolution of each unique individual in nothingness that guarantees the freshness, originality, and brilliant colors of subsequent individuals when they arise from that nothingness.
		In "Feuerbach's Nihilism," this emphasis is thrown into high relief by the fact that Jónas borrows several key terms from the creation story in the Poetic Edda, specifically from the account of how life was bestowed upon the male and female ancestors of the human race.
