Synopsis

First published as an 1841 polemic, this influential critique argues that religion and divinity should be understood as outward projections of inner human nature. Feuerbach’s challenge to Hegelian idealism drew immediate international attention and proved particularly significant for Marx and Engels, shaping later developments in Marxist theory.

Translated here by the English novelist George Eliot, it is suited to readers interested in religion and philosophy.
