19455 | Today's atheism will tomorrow become a religion [Feuerbach] |
Full Idea: What is regarded as atheism today will be religion tomorrow. | |
From: Ludwig Feuerbach (Introduction of 'Essence of Christianity' [1841], II) | |
A reaction: Modern critics of atheism frequently accuse it of being a new religion. I doubt whether Feuerbach is right, but it is a nice provocative idea. |
6905 | Absolute idealism is the realized divine mind of Leibnizian theism [Feuerbach] |
Full Idea: Absolute idealism is nothing but the realized divine mind of Leibnizian theism. | |
From: Ludwig Feuerbach (Principles of Philosophy of the Future [1843], §10) | |
A reaction: In general it seems an accurate commentary that during the eighteenth century philosophers on the continent were designing a religion without God. Kantian duty tries to replace the authority of God with pure reason. |
