Abstract

The following study, under the title The critique of religion in Ludwig Feuerbach attempts on the one hand to reconstruct Feuerbach’s criticism to the religious phenomenon, and on the other hand based on that critique, to annotate the wider conceptual framework. Our main goal in this thesis, is to show Feuerbach’s autonomy as a different thinker, mainly between Hegel and Marx. The criticism at the tradition of German Idealism and speculative philosophy in general, frames the criticism in religion given the similarity of the critical method. The prevalence of Reason against faith in the feuerbachian philosophy, appears as prevalence of rational thinking and science, against obscurantism and imagination. The main power in humankind’s life is the nature to which is attributed the creation and the maintenance of human, as through religion human looks gets away from nature. The contingent dogmatism, of the central importance term of essence, pitted against the argument of connection of essence with being, which assumes the essence in general as the essence of being. For Feuerbach is important to show the term sensuousness off, which characterizes human in knowledge, theoretically and practically. Human, cause of religion has been distanced from the importance of sense and love to the same subject. The importance of love and inter-subjectivity of I and You, in this thesis presents in concert to each other and also separately, because through their common analysis, appears the request of taking back the human essence. That comes through the awareness of the human’s essence content and the humankind’s disengagement from religion and divine being, in which they have been attributed their special characteristics in perfection. The issue of reversal method, reveals us the alienated content of human essence and shows us the ideological content under which religion is structured. Materialism and sensuousness, are in central importance in Feuerbach, because they are shows us the content of the inverted world and inverted consciousness, which are both considered results of the enforcement of religious reality in the real world. In the same frame is demonstrating the term of political, in where the political thought opposes to religious thought, while the political organization of state and society, shows the distance which is created between humankind and religion. 8 The autonomous reading of Feuerbach, can lead us to a completed reading of Marx, and mostly his young period, because his influence is an issue that it must be studied again. The sure Feuerbach’s autonomy, gives us one of the most completed criticisms in the religious phenomenon.
