Presentimento di una religione senza dio in Friedrich Feuerbach

Abstract

: The article deals with the hypothesis that in Friedrich Feuerbach’s writings on the religion of the future and on the church of the future, we can find elements of reflection useful for articulating the theme, so much discussed nowadays, of a religion without god. On the one hand, this exercise underlines the humanist perspective of the current philosophy and, on the other hand, it highlights the need to create a new form of union capable of spreading a faith that unites men with a stronger bond than Christianity, that is, which promotes and sustains the aspiration, which today manifests itself in different ways, to integrate the insufficiencies of individual forces with a common spirit. It is always about the love of the neighbor founded on our “common nature”, particularly on the reciprocal need that we have experienced from each other and that leads us to consider ourselves “brothers and sisters in man”.
