Species-Ontology in the Philosophy of Ludwig Feuerbach.

This study treats Feuerbach's philosophy as compelling in its own right and examines it critically against the work of other nineteenth century thinkers, specifically Hegel, Stirner, Marx and Nietzsche. Feuerbach's synthesis of naturalism, humanism and materialism into an ontology of human species-being ('Gattungswesen') is traced through his works. Finally, the implications of Feuerbach's species-ontology for our social and political being are drawn; on this basis the study argues for a re-acquaintance of Feuerbach's work. 331 Seiten, gebunden (Studies in European Thought; Vol. 12/Peter Lang Verlag 1995) Mängelexemplar/near mint
