According to the famous Theses on Feuerbach ( 1845 ), philosophy had to stop " interpreting " the world in endless metaphysical debates, in order to start " changing " the world, as was being done by the rising workers ' movement observed by Engels in England ( Chartist movement ) and by Marx in France and Germany.

According to him, not only is God an alienating ideal, as Feuerbach had argued in The Essence of Christianity ( 1841 ), but so too are humanity itself, nationalism and all ideologies.

But Marx also criticized Feuerbach for being insufficiently materialistic, as Stirner himself had pointed out, and explained that the alienation described by the Young Hegelians was in fact the result of the structure of the economy itself.

For most of this time he had an ecumenical scholarship from the Diakonishes Werk and lived in the famous Evangelishes Stift ( whose former inhabitants included Johannes Kepler, Ludwig Feuerbach, Friedrich W. J. Schelling, and Georg W. F. Hegel ).

Although critical of Bauer, Marx was increasingly influenced by the ideas of the other Young Hegelians Max Stirner and Ludwig Feuerbach, but eventually also abandoned Feuerbachian materialism as well.

He also paraphrases and makes word-plays and in-jokes on formulations found in Hegel's works as well as in the works of his contemporaries such as Ludwig Feuerbach.

There he came under the influence of the philosopher Feuerbach, and extended his radicalism also to matters of religion.

In Part I: “ Feuerbach — Opposition of the Materialist and Idealist Outlook ” of The German Ideology ( 1846 ), Karl Marx said: “ things have now come to such a pass that the individuals must appropriate the existing totality of productive forces, not only to achieve self-activity, but also, merely to safeguard their very existence ”.

Feuerbach also contradicts himself by claiming that humans give up their personality and place it upon God who, in turn, is a selfish being.

In a slightly abbreviated form, it was published as Zukunft der Arbeit — Arbeit der Zukunft: Das Marxsche Arbeitsbegriff und seine theologische Wertung ( 1988 ) and it makes a contribution not just to a critical theological evaluation on Marx ’ s philosophy, but also to Marx studies ( notably with regard to the influence of Feuerbach on Marx ’ theory of economic alienation and affinities between the late Fichte ’ s ideas and Marx ’ conceptualization of communist society ).

Ludwig Feuerbach wrote that religious naturalism was " the acknowledgment of the Divine in Nature " and also " an element of the Christian religion ", but by no means that religion's definitive " characteristic " or " tendency ".

Feuerbach also contradicts himself by claiming that man gives up his personality and places it upon God who in turn is a selfish being.

A year later Marx would write Theses on Feuerbach, best known for the statement that " the philosophers have only interpreted the world, the point is to change it ".

With this legal handbook of criminal cases in the tradition of the famous " Causes Célèbres " of the Franch lawyer Gayot de Pitaval ( 1673 – 1743 ) Feuerbach intend to establish a modern criminal psychology (" Seelenkunde ") for crime investigation, criminal judges, etc.

Although he is credited for its discovery, Karl Wilhelm Feuerbach did not entirely discover the nine-point circle, but rather the six point circle, recognizing the significance of the midpoints of the three sides of the triangle and the feet of the altitudes of that triangle.

" In 1841, Ludwig Feuerbach, was the first to employ this concept as the basis for a systematic critique of religion.

Part I, however, is a work of exposition giving the appearance of being the work for which the " Theses on Feuerbach " served as an outline.

He satirized traditional religious views of his time as human projections, and for this he is often regarded as the " Feuerbach of Antiquity ," who did the same for Christianity.

Balibar's remark is intended to explain the significance of the final line of Karl Marx's 11 Theses on Feuerbach ( 1845 ), which can be read as an epitaph for philosophy: " The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways ; the point is to change it ".

Also, in his Theses on Feuerbach ( 1845 ), in which the young Marx broke with Feuerbach's idealism, he writes that " the philosophers have only described the world, in various ways, the point is to change it ," and his materialist approach allows for and empowers such change.

The Living Theater, in the 1970s, for example, mixed direct actions with an artistic intent, mixing, as did before them André Breton and the Surrealist movement, Arthur Rimbaud's " change life " with Karl Marx ' XIth These on Feuerbach, " transform the world.

Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach ( July 28, 1804, Landshut, Lower Bavaria – September 13, 1872 ) was a German philosopher and anthropologist.

Von Feuerbach was the originator of the famous maxim nullum crimen, nulla poena sine praevia lege poenali: " There's no crime and hence there shall not be punishment if at the time no penal law existed "

( Some authors, however, point out that Feuerbach, by the end of his life, apparently stopped believing in Hauser ; at least he wrote a note, to be found in his legacy, which read: " Caspar Hauser is a smart scheming codger, a rogue, a good-for-nothing that ought to be killed.

Feuerbach became associated with a group known as the Young Hegelians, alternately known as the Left Hegelians, who synthesized a radical offshoot of Hegelian philosophy, interpreting Hegel's dialectic march of spirit through history to mean that existing Western culture and institutional forms — and, in particular, Christianity — would be superseded.

This selfishness turns onto humans and projects them to be wicked and corrupt, that they are, “ incapable of good ,” and it is only God that is good, “ the Good Being .” In this way Feuerbach detracts from many of his earlier assertions while showing the alienation that takes place in humans by worshipping God.

Feuerbach affirms that goodness is, “ personified as God ,” turning God into an object because if God was anything but an object nothing would need to be personified on him.

Feuerbach tries to lessen his inconsistency by asking if it were possible if, “ I could perceive the beauty of a fine picture if my mind were aesthetically an absolute piece of perversion ?” Through Feuerbach ’ s reasoning it would not be possible, but it is possible, and he later states that humans are capable of finding beauty.

It is closely related to legal formalism and the rule of law and can be traced from the writings of Feuerbach, Dicey and Montesquieu.

Marx explicitly developed the notion of critique into the critique of ideology and linked it with the practice of social revolution, as in the famous 11th of his Theses on Feuerbach, " Philosophers have only interpreted the world in certain ways ; the point is to change it.

Through this society, Evans was introduced to more liberal theologies, and writers such as David Strauss and Ludwig Feuerbach, who cast doubt on the literal veracity of Biblical stories.

* Marx, Karl, Theses on Feuerbach, 1845

Marx himself expresses deep critical concerns with this historicist tendency in his Theses on Feuerbach:

Marx's tombstone bears the carved message: " WORKERS OF ALL LANDS UNITE ", the final line of The Communist Manifesto, and from the 11th Thesis on Feuerbach ( edited by Engels ): " The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways — the point however is to change it ".

However, Marx famously asserted in the eleventh of his Theses on Feuerbach that " philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways ; the point however is to change it ", and he clearly dedicated himself to trying to alter the world.

Feuerbach goes on to postulate that the emergence of monotheism and thus the end of the Pagan period was a development which naturally grew out of Hellenistic philosophy due to the contradiction inherent in the ethnic nature of Pagan tradition and the universality of human spirituality ( Geist ), finally resulting in the emergence of a religion with a universalist scope in the form of Christianity.

In 1912 Émile Durkheim, building on Feuerbach, considered religion " a projection of the social values of society ," " a means of making symbolic statements about society ," " a symbolic language that makes statements about the social order "; in short, " religion is society worshiping itself ".

This idealist understanding of philosophy as interpretation was famously challenged by Karl Marx's 11th thesis on Feuerbach ( 1845 ): " Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways ; the point, however, is to change it.
