Feuerbach, Ludwig (1804–72)

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Ludwig Feuerbach was a German philosopher and theologian. Although Feuerbach started out as an ardent follower of Hegel, in the early 1840s his criticism of German Idealism and religion turned him into the leading voice of the Young Hegelians, who harnessed Hegelian dialectics to advocate for the expansion of political freedom and religious tolerance with a view to undermining Prussian political and religious orthodoxy.
