FEUERBACH ŞI CRITICA RELIGIEI. O RELECTURĂ TEOLOGICĂ
Feuerbach and the Criticism of Religion. A Theological Re-Reading

Summary/Abstract: The present study is first of all an attempt to describe and reanalyse Feuerbach’s critique of religion in general and of Christianity in particular, as well as his arguments in favour of atheism and the need to overcome religion. Secondly, the following pages will also structure a critique of Feuerbach from a theological angle, showing that no matter how radical and welcome an atheistic interpretation may have seemed in the 19th century, today it turns out to be just another phase in the criticism of a conceptual and metaphysical God. There is an enormous gap between this God and the apophatic God of the Tradition of the Church, whose radical difference is not only defined by a maximization of the presence of human qualities – love, compassion, power to create etc. – but also by a completely unknowable nature. Once this reality is appropriated, Feuerbach’s critique could actually become instrumental in helping dethrone the metaphysical idol of God and making room for an extremely contemporary post-metaphysical understanding of the divine.
