"Bruno Reincarnate": The Early Feuerbach On God, Lov E And Death, Todd Gooch Dec 2012

"Bruno Reincarnate": The Early Feuerbach On God, Lov E And Death, Todd Gooch

Todd Gooch

This essay analyzes the central role played by the concept of love in Feuerbach’s early pantheistic idealism as articulated principally in his first book, Thoughts on Death and Immortality (1830). After contextualizing this work in relation to the pantheism controversy inaugurated by the publication in 1785 of Jacobi’s famous letters to Moses Mendelssohn On the Doctrine of Spinoza, the author goes on to argue 1) that the position developed by Feuerbach here is far more coherent than has been recognized by previous commentators; 2) that the historical importance of this work consists in the effort undertaken in it to produce …

Douglas Moggach, Editor. The New Hegelians: Politics And Philosophy In The Hegelian School, Todd Gooch

Merold Westphal Overcoming Onto-Theology: Toward A Postmodern Christian Faith. Perspectives In Continental Philosophy, Todd Gooch

Todd Gooch
