Lectures on the Essence of Religion


Book Description

This book, translated for the first time into English, presents the major statement of the philosophy of Ludwig Feuerbach. Here, in his most systematic work, Feuerbach’s thought on religion and on the philosophy of nature achieves its full maturity. Central to the thought of Feuerbach is the concept that man not God is the creator, that divinities are representations of man’s innermost feelings and ideas. Philosophy should turn from theology and speculative rationalism to sound factual anthropology. “My aim in these Lectures,” writes Feuerbach, “is to transform friends of God into friends of man, believers into thinkers, worshippers into workers, candidates for the other world into students of this world, Christians, who on their own confession are half-animal and half-angel, into men––whole men.”




The Essence of Religion


Book Description

A New 2023 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 2023 The Complete Works of Ludwig Feuerbach by Newcomb Livraria Press

Gesammelte Werke Band


Book Description

Bereits 1839 wurde das philosophische Hauptwerk Ludwig Feuerbachs in den "Hallischen Jahrbuchern" als ein Gegenstuck zu Kant, als "Kritik der unreinen Vernunft" erstmals offentlich angekundigt. Erschienen ist die 1. Auflage schliesslich im Juni 1841, zwei Monate spater war sie nahezu vergriffen wobei die Verbote in Osterreich und einigen anderen Staaten und die sofort einsetzenden publizistischen Angriffe zu seiner Popularitat noch beitrugen. "Das Wesen des Christentums" ist das Resultat eines langwierigen Prozesses der Auseinandersetzung Feuerbachs mit der Hegelschen Philosophie, insbesondere mit dessen Religionsphilosophie. In polemischem Gegensatz zu Hegel zielt die Schrift auf den Nachweis, dass der zentrale Punkt aller Religion der Mensch in seinem Verhaltnis zu sich selbst und zur Natur ist: Die Welt der Religion und Theologie sei nur die phantastisch verkehrte Widerspiegelung der irdischen Welt, Transponierung des Menschen als Gottheit in eine erdachte und geglaubte uberirdische Existenz. Feuerbach versucht den Nachweis zu fuhren, dass das "innerste Geheimnis" der Religion, ihr undurchschauter "rationeller Kern," der Mensch selbst sei und dass Theologie letztlich nichts anderes ist als die Lehre von dem als gottliches Wesen vorgestellten Menschen mithin religiose Anthropologie."
