Radical thinkers: Ludwig Feuerbach on religion
Subscribe to the Guardian HERE:
Nina Power discusses the impact of the radical philosophy of the German thinker Ludwig Feuerbach. As one of the young Hegelian philosophers in the mid-19th century, he was one of the key influences on Marx. His most influential writings are collected in the Fiery Brook – a play on his own name – in which he offers a strident critique of Christianity.

Wow. My distant cousin. That branch of the Feuerbach family produced some notable minds. There was a famous painter and a Bavarian legal scholar on this branch of the Feurerbachs all within 3 generations of each other.
Please give this lady a quiet environment, library in the back and a designer lounge chair, to explain her knowledge and intellectual perspectives, otherwise I can't take her seriously
Excellent and insightful.
There's got to be more to this man than this. It sounds like an idea that a stoner would have: "hey man, you know, we are all, like, projecting our ideals into these gods man …" proceeds to take puff and scratch buttcheeks
what type of thinker was he??

Feuerbach is a German and takes a more dialectical thinker
Too bad he did not study eastern thought because the centrality of the human is the hallmark of eastern thinking
Of course Feuerbachs narrative is an attack on religion. He is negating the idea that there is a god in the sky
This is almost all waffling around the subject, to the extent that what Feuerbach was saying is almost entirely absent!!
St. Paul's Cathedral, yay! very nice video.
Yes for a atheist it's great to see religion like a anthropologist. But when a believer thinks that his religion is a intrinsic part of his being, even before he calls himself human, Feuerbach will feel like a personal attack and won't be adequate to convince believers of the fact that there is no God. The only way to convince someone is by negative persuasion. Sayin that they need it. If someone says to you "I believe in god" just reply by saying; Of course people like you need it to be true! Thats the best way in my opinion to make them think.
Anyone notice that the Left attacks Christianity and not Islam? Why?
One Is TRUTH, one is lies.. which is which?
You were doing SO well until that word "Islamophobia" dropped from your naive tongue.
If not for that, i would have given it full marks, outstanding. 'Tis a pity.
"For God created man in His image." Sounds good, but what if "Man created God in Their image?" I find that kinda empowering.
this is really cool, my family name is feuerbach i wonder if hes an ancestor
Humanity is necessarily helpless by nature. The evidence for this is that he has no control over the forces of nature nor the laws of science. He can't even control his own heart beat. That's the point. By nature he is a subject in the kingdom of the universe, incapable of controlling his ultimate destiny. Therefore the idea that humanity can achieve the status of God is a pipe full of star dust.
Thank you for your presentation. I have a question (for anyone who'd like to answer). How does believing in an all-knowing God fulfil the human need to be all knowing? By projecting such attributes onto God we are not endowing ourselves with such attributes.
Thanks
Well said ; good video.
Paul Heise who made Wagnerheim(.)com, a great site which interprets Richard Wagner's 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' operas philisophically says Wagner himself was also influenced by Feuerbach. Of course before the christian fall of Wagner
great..
I don't know what it is like in the UK, but in Australia I would have to say that it is the Christians I have met that have the biggest xenophobic streaks, due to people of other religions coming into our "christian nation".
