Sažetak
In our previous work, „A Contribution to Interpretation of Feuerbach’s Suspicious Absence“, to which this text serves as a sort of continuation, we attempted to address the question of why, in our perspective, the most prominent practitioner of religious critique, Ludwig Feuerbach, is absent among Ricoeur’s “Masters of Suspicion”: Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud. In this current work, our intention is to employ Ricoeur’s hermeneutical framework, succinctly, to highlight the peculiarities of the religious interpretation within Feuerbach’s legacy. Feuerbach’s distinct hermeneutics permeated an entire generation in the mid-19th century, a generation that discovered, within his theory of religion, a mode of thought that called into question the legitimacy of all known earthly institutions and authorities. However, Feuerbach did not stop there: his exploration of the religious phenomena ultimately led him to a point where he believed that once demystified forms of religion reveal something diametrically opposed to alienation. In this manner, religion becomes a perpetual foundation for intellectual evolution and a detour through which humankind arrives at self-awareness of its true nature.
