O “ateísmo” antropológico de Ludwig Feuerbach

uma proposta de restauração do ser humano sensorial

Abstract

Ludwig Feuerbach's thought has as its fundamental proposal the understanding of religious phenomena through the reduction of these phenomena to the human dimension. Thus, we will seek here to understand in which aspects Feuerbach's philosophy should not be characterized merely as an "atheistic philosophy", but rather as a humanist anthropology or a new philosophy that has at the heart of its understanding the understanding of the human being from the human being itself as sensory. Our hypotheses are that Feuerbach, because he dealt with the topic of religion, ended up being relegated simply as a hermeneutist of Christianity or an inveterate atheist, which does not seem to be completely acceptable. His philosophy sought, above all else, the confirmation of an anthropology based on the sensitive human being, in which there are conditions that predispose the existence of human sensoriality such as housing, food, education, work, but which, it seems, These were relegated themes in Feuerbachian thought. Feuerbach sought in religion only the foundation for his final defense: the complete human being. Our conclusions were that despite Feuerbach being treated as a “missionary atheist” or “inveterate atheist” or even a mere critic of religion, he always sought, even if not so explicitly, to rescue men from their insensitive religious condition. , without mediation with the material content of the world. In short, Feuerbach was one of the greatest precursors of modern anthropology, as he centered man on earthly issues.
