The essence of Christianity. Feuerbach Ludwig A.

“The essence of Christianity” is the main work of the German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach, who influenced the views of Charles Marx and Friedrich Engels. It was created during the period of a tense struggle between science and religion, and concentrated in itself the thoughts of Christianity, religion and theology as a whole. From the perspective of the materialist, Feuerbach considers and analyzes the psychological roots of the emergence of religion, criticizes its dogma and tries to find the anthropological meaning of religious rites and attributes.
