Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Feuerbach’s departure from the traditional philosophy of Hegel opened the door for generations of radical philosophical thought. His philosophy has long been acknowledged as the influence for much of Marx’s early writings. Indeed, a great amount of the young Marx must remain unintelligible without reference to certain basic Feuerbachian texts. These selections, most of them previously untranslated, establish the thought of Feuerbach in an independent role. They explain his fundamental criticisms of the ‘old philosophy’ of Hegel, and advance his own humanistic thought, which finds its bases in life and sensuality. Feuerbach’s contemporaneity as an existentialist, humanist, and atheist is clearly presented, and the reader can readily grasp the liberating influence of this too-long neglected philosopher. Professor Zawar Hanfi has written an excellent introduction establishing Feuerbach’s environment, importance, and relevance and his translations surpass most previous Feuerbach translators.

Thoughts on Death and Immortality

From the Papers of a Thinker, along with an Appendix of Theological Satirical Epigrams, Edited by One of his Friends

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

Never translated before, 'Thoughts on Death and Immortality' was the first published work of Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872). The scandal created by portrayal of Christianity as an egoistic and inhumane religion cost the young Hegelian his job and, to some extent, his career. Joining philosophical argument to epigram, lyric, and satire, the work has three central arguments: first, a straightforward denial of the Christian belief in personal immortality; second, a plea for recognition of the inexhaustible quality of the only life we have; and third, a derisive assault on the posturings and hypocrisies of the professional theologians of nineteenth-century Germany.

Lectures on the Essence of Religion

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

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

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

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.

Natural Science and the Revolution

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

A New translation into English from the original manuscript of Feuerbach's 1850 "Die Naturwissenschaft und die Revolution", with an introduction, glossary of Feuerbachian terminology and a timeline of his life and works. "Die Naturwissenschaft und die Revolution" (Natural Science and the Revolution) is a political work published in 1850 that reflects Feuerbach's views on the relationship between science and politics. In this work, Feuerbach argues that the natural sciences have the potential to bring about a revolution in society and politics, but that this revolution can only be achieved through a fundamental change in the way society is organized. Here, he heavily emphasizes education. This is a critical work in the history of political thought, and its emphasis on the role of the natural sciences in bringing about a revolution in society continues to be relevant and influential in contemporary political discourse. 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.

Thoughts on Death and Immortality from the Papers of a Thinker: A New Translation

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

Feuerbach's 1830 work Thoughts on Death and Immortality from the Papers of a Thinker, is his first publication and an important philosophical work that examines the nature of human existence and the question of immortality. Feuerbach would be the primary influence of Marx, and all of Marx's core ideas of Alienation, Dialectal Materialism and class struggle are found in the writings of Feuerbach. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche both take their satirical distichons about religion from Feuerbach. This work is also notable for its critique of traditional religious beliefs, particularly those related to the afterlife. Feuerbach was a prominent figure in the Young Hegelian movement, which sought to challenge the dominant theological and philosophical ideas of the time. "Gedanken über Tod und Unsterblichkeit" was an important contribution to this movement, and it helped to pave the way for the development of atheistic and humanistic philosophies in the nineteenth century. Feuerbach is a critical figure in the development of not merely Marxism, but Materialistic Humanism in general. This is Volume I in the The Complete Works of Ludwig Feuerbach by Livraria Press

Principles of Philosophy of the Future

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach (1804 - 1872) was a German anthropologist and philosopher, best known for his book The Essence of Christianity, which provided a critique of Christianity that strongly influenced generations of later thinkers, including Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Engels, Richard Wagner, and Friedrich Nietzsche. An associate of Left Hegelian circles, Feuerbach advocated atheism and anthropological materialism. Many of his philosophical writings offered a critical analysis of religion. His thought was influential in the development of historical materialism, where he is often recognized as a bridge between Hegel and Marx.

History of Modern Philosophy from Bacon to Spinoza: A New Translation

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

A New translation with Introduction, Glossary of terms used by Feuerbach and timeline of his life and works. Feuerbach's 1837 work, "Geschichte der neueren Philosophie von Bacon bis Spinoza" (History of Modern Philosophy from Bacon to Spinoza), is an important contribution to the study of philosophy and intellectual history. The work traces the development of philosophical thought from the seventeenth century to the Enlightenment and examines the key figures and ideas that shaped this period. He argues that philosophy is not a static set of ideas, but rather a dynamic and evolving process that is shaped by social, political, and cultural factors- the basic Materialist Anthropology adopted by Marx. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche both take their satirical distichons 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 Atheism and Humanism in general. This is Volume I in the The Complete Works of Ludwig Feuerbach by Livraria Press

Pierre Bayle, according to his most interesting moments: A New Translation

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

Feuerbach's work on Pierre Bayle was not a book or essay, but rather a series of lectures he gave in 1842 at the University of Erlangen. These lectures were later published as "Pierre Bayle: Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Philosophie und Menschheit" (Pierre Bayle: A Contribution to the History of Philosophy and Humanity). Feuerbach's lectures on Pierre Bayle highlighted the importance of Bayle's contributions to the development of religious tolerance, skepticism, and literary criticism. 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. This is Volume III in the The Complete Works of Ludwig Feuerbach by Livraria Press

The Essence of Christianity

By: Ludwig Feuerbach

Did God create man? Or did man create God? Famed German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach explores the answer in this, his most influential work, published in German in 1841 and translated by celebrated English novelist George Eliot. Using Biblical references, dialectics, and ideas from some of the world's greatest thinkers, he confronts believers with his cogent explanation. Approaching religion from a humanistic perspective, Feuerbach explores the idea that divinity is an outward projection of our idealistic human nature. Asserting that nothing is higher than the perfection found in mankind, he proposes that a Supreme Being was created by man seeking comfort and relief from a hostile world, challenging tenets of Christianity from creation and the resurrection to faith and miracles. Feuerbach's critique of Hegelian idealism excited immediate international attention — influencing Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Friedrich Engels in particular. Thought-provoking and utterly compelling, this historically significant polemic is must reading for lifelong students of religion and philosophy.
