THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL MATERIALISM OF LUDWIG FEUERBACH – A PROGRESSIVE DIRECTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

In the context of the dominant idealism and materialism revealing its limitations, L.Feuerbach chooses his own road - the anthropological materialism. L.Feuerbach overcomes idealism and reformed philosophy in a completely different direction. The philosophical reform of L.Feuerbach is firstly shown in the materialistic settlement of the fundamental problem of philosophy. The new philosophy must consider human nature as its first principle, which is the most active, realistic original. Man and nature - that is the true object of philosophy
