Ludwig Feuerbach’s View of God in The Essence of Christian

Hegel was once a philosopher who greatly influence the views and perceptions of Ludwig Feuerbach. However, in the process of studying the philosophy of the seventeenth century, the French materialism of the eighteenth century and observing the reality of German society at that time, Ludwig Feuerbach realized that Hegel’s philosophy was still limited. Based on that perception, Ludwig Feuerbach criticizes Hegel’s position, at the same time, he criticizes the position of Christian philosophy. Thereby, he established his own philosophical views – humanist philosophy or humanist thought. Although Ludwig Feuerbach’s view of society has not yet clearly shown human independence, it is the foundation and “source of fire” for Karl Mark and F. Engels to establish the concept of human emancipation.
