Engels; Feuerbach The Roots of the Socialist Philosophy (English Version) - Odyssee

Feuerbach: The Roots of the Socialist Philosophy is a critical work that traces the philosophical development of German idealism and its transformation into dialectical materialism—the foundation of Marxist thought. Engels explores how the ideas of Hegel, with his abstract idealism, were challenged by Ludwig Feuerbach’s materialist critique, which emphasized the real, tangible existence of human beings over speculative concepts of spirit or absolute mind. Feuerbach’s focus on material reality and human sensuousness represented a significant turning point, grounding philosophy in human needs and experiences.

However, Engels also argues that Feuerbach did not go far enough. While Feuerbach rejected religious and idealist abstractions, he remained too passive and failed to grasp the dynamic, historical nature of human society. Engels and Marx took Feuerbach’s insights further by applying dialectics to material conditions, emphasizing the importance of social and economic structures in shaping consciousness. In this way, Feuerbach: The Roots of the Socialist Philosophy serves as both a tribute to Feuerbach’s influence and a declaration of the philosophical break that led to historical materialism—the core of socialist theory.
