The Essence of Christianity
The Essence of Christianity (German: Das Wesen des Christentums; historical orthography: Das Weſen des Chriſtenthums) is a book by Ludwig Feuerbach first published in 1841. It explains Feuerbach's philosophy and critique of religion. Feuerbach, a leading figure among the Young Hegelians, was influenced by Hegel's philosophy regarding the infinite and the finite, but inverted it: rather than understanding finite human qualities as manifestations of an infinite God, as did Hegel, Feuerbach understood the infinite God as an objectification of finite humanity's essential qualities. This is the defining attribute of Feuerbach's critique of religion.
