Document Summary
Feuerbach theology and anthropology: marx: material base how we organize to produce, how we get our hands in the dirt. Ikea, furniture is modular: taking stuff in our environment and manipulate it, prevailing wisdom, theology -> anthropology. Look in the logic of the gods, we can understand ourselves as people, so we can look to see what is in god"s mind. From answering those questions, we can understand how humans work. Dealing with greek gods, sense if we are wrong, we are vengeful: feuerbach"s challenge, anthropology -> theology. We have needs, we look for comfort, look to make sense of random events. Create these gods based on our ides of virtue, based on our ideals. But the problem is once we do that, we get a standard we emulate that we look to, so we become fearful of gods. Random virtues, natures, feelings, emotions emulated to gods. Marx: said feuerbach didn"t go far enough.
