Christianity and Idealism
14
Mar
If the essence of idealism is the separation of object and subject, I make a purposive inversion,
the essence of Christianity for Ludwig Feuerbach is separated from the subject and the sensible objects, and for Feuerbach the consciousness of the object may be, though distinguished from self-consciousness , A consciousness that coincides immediately after the religious object, because of its “transcendence” is exactly what makes it return to the consciousness of Self.
For Feuerbach, and the sensitive object is outside the being (although the ontology here is only an appeal), the religious object is in it, it is an intrinsic object, and it does not abandon it, its moral conscience leaves it, it is an intimate object , And even the most intimate, is the closest of all.
His critique of Theology, using idealism presupposes essentially a critical judgment, the “difference between the divine and the non-divine, between what is and what is not worthy of worship,” so with this dualism it is possible to play everything The essence of the divine in the common ditch of the Ideal.
The consciousness of God is man’s self-consciousness; this is Hegelian idealism made religion: the knowledge of God is man’s knowledge of himself.
The negation of the subject is regarded as irreligion, and its relation to sensitive objects, a negation of the subject, is the atheistic religion of Feuerbach, to which Marx will return calling it the Old Hegelians, and seeks to make its inversion, now of the object to Subject, this is the new “religious” version of the Young Hegelians, like Marx.
“It is no longer about Heaven to Earth,” Marx said, but now “from the earth to the sky,” that is, from the object to the subject, from the work force and from the production to its divinization.
If for Marx, fetishization was the separation of labor from its instrument of labor and merchandise, fetishization can be reification (rex – thing) or objectification, where it sees the separation of subject and object, in religious fetishism is separation Of consumption (sinful) and individual (seen without autonomy) to which the religious must “watch”.
The just relation to money, to work, to health and education, is nothing more than an overcoming of the idealistic religious vision, its consummation in a man in a harmonious relation with the world, and in this case also the beauty, poetry and life Healthy perspective.
