Abstract

DACUY, Maximiliano  and  LIMA FILHO, José Edmar. Religion and limits: spatiotemporality and political praxis in Ludwig Feuerbach. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.26, e021044.  Epub June 10, 2024. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v26.e021044.

In this article – and through a hermeneutical analysis of a textual nature – we will take a tour about a particular interpretatión of politics in Ludwig Feuerbach. The reading we make is that an idea of politics as self-limitation (Selbsbeschränkung) of man, implicitly overcoming criticism of Christianity, in the period 1839-1843. For its implementation, it is necessary – as we understanding it – to link politics and religión: understood as the passage of the critical gaze from the inside (of the essence) to the outside (the genre that exists in nature). Through this link, man – by specifically claiming sensitivity – limits his political practice in space and time, thereby setting the stage for the effective exercise of praxis.

Keywords : Self-limitation; Praxis; Christianity; Essence; State.
