关于此电子书

A New translation into English from the original manuscript, with an introduction, glossary of Feuerbachian terminology and a timeline of his life and works.

"The Essence of Religion" is a philosophical work published in 1841 that critiques the nature and origins of religious belief, arguing for a Darwinian-historical origin for religion, and a materialistic worldview. In this work, Feuerbach argues that religion is a product of human imagination and projection, and that its true essence can only be understood by examining the human mind and its relationship to the natural world. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche both take their satirical criticism about religion from Feuerbach, and every aspect of Marxism can be found here in Marx's favorite Philosopher. Feuerbach is a critical figure in the development of not merely Marxism, but Materialistic Humanism in general. Feuerbach is critical to understanding Marx. This is Volume VI in the The Complete Works of Ludwig Feuerbach by LP

作者简介

A German philosopher who took classes from Hegel, Feuerbach is a critical link between Hegel and Marx. Feuerbach created a de-sacritized version of the Hegelian Historical Dialectic, which Marx built his entire religious system upon. Feuerbachs work focused on the critique of religion and the philosophy of materialism. His most influential work, "The Essence of Christianity," argues that religion is a projection of human aspirations and that God is a construct of the human imagination. Feuerbach greatly influenced Marxist and humanist thought, even to this day.
