JEAN-LUC MARION’S CONCEPTION OF ICON AS A WAY OF OVERCOMING LUDWIG FEUERBACH’S ARGUMENTS AGAINST RELIGION

Summary/Abstract: The issue of the article is to present Jean-Luc Marion’s conception of idol and icon as an answer to Ludwig Feuerbach’s objections against religion. Feuerbach believed religion is a figment of men that shows the truth about human being, not about God. According to Feuerbach, the idea of God is an objectified essence of human being. Marion partially agrees with Feuerbach: the category of idol shows that religious acts do not grasp God but shows narrowness of human abilities. But it is not the only way of relation to divinity. In the place of the idol Marion proposes to put an icon which does not submit to narrowness of human categories and because of that it can reach a deeper, noncomprehensible realm.
