Favorite Ludwig Feuerbach Quotes

1. "Though I myself am an atheist, I openly profess religion in the sense just mentioned, that is, a nature religion. I hate the idealism that wrenches man out of nature; I am not ashamed of my dependency on nature; I openly confess that the workings of nature affect not only my surface, my skin, my body, but also my core, my innermost being, that the air I breathe in bright weather has a salutary effect not only on my lungs but also on my mind, that the light of the sun illumines not only my eyes but also my spirit and my heart. And I do not, like a Christian, believe that such dependency is contrary to my true being or hope to be delivered from it. I know further that I am a finite moral being, that I shall one day cease to be. But I find this very natural and am therefore perfectly reconciled to the thought." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
2. "The task of the modern era was the realization and humanization of God – the transformation and dissolution of theology into anthropology." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
3. "[T]ruth is considered profane, and only illusion is sacred" ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
4. "As we expand our knowledge of good books, we shrink the circle of men whose company we appreciate." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
5. "To theology, ... only what it holds sacred is true, whereas to philosophy, only what holds true is sacred." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
6. "God did not, as the Bible says, make man in His image; on the contrary man, as I have shown in The Essence of Christianity, made God in his image." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
7. "[Theology is a] web of contradictions and delusions." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
8. "Wherever morality is based on theology, wherever right is made dependent on divine authority, the most immoral, unjust, infamous things can be justified and established." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
9. "Christianity set itself the goal of fulfilling man's unattainable desires, but for that very reason ignored his attainable desires. By promising man eternal life, it deprived him of temporal life, by teaching him to trust in God's help it took away his trust in his own powers; by giving him faith in a better life in heaven, it destroyed his faith in a better life on earth and his striving to attain such a life. Christianity gave man what his imagination desires, but for that very reason failed to give him what he really and truly desires." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach
10. "The power of thought is the light of knowledge, the power of will is the energy of character, the power of heart is love. Reason, love and power of will are perfections of man." ~ Ludwig Feuerbach

Today's Quote

All too easily, we confuse the world as we symbolize it with the world as it is. As semanticist Alfred Korzybski used to say, it is an urgent necessity to distinguish between the map and the territory and, he might have added, between the flag and the country."
