Feuerbach Perceptual Thought And The Influence Of Marx's Philosophy

Feuerbach is a representative figure of German Classical Philosophy. Feuerbach's philosophy occupies the key position in the forming process of Marx's philosophy. It is undoubtedly that his philosophical thinking has produced enormous influence to Marx. In order to approach and understand Marx more deeply, we must understand the philosophy of Feuerbach. Through the research of Feuerbach's philosophical thinking, we can preferably realize Marx's thinking in a relative view, clarify the close connections between them, and understand the inheritance and transcendence in them.The paper's main idea is the perceptual ideas of Feuerbach. As a German classical philosopher, his most prominent contribution was recovering the authority of Materialism. Through the critique of Hegel's Speculative Philosophy, he expressed his own perceptual ideas completely. This was a new philosophical thinking and was different from the previous perceptual ideas. Feuerbach used perceptual persons and perceptual ideas as his theoretical weapons to oppose and criticize Hegel's idealistic Speculative Philosophy. At that time, his thinking had a very large superiority in the field of philosophy. Feuerbach's philosophical thinking played a theoretical supporting role in the formation of Marx's thinking. Marx's philosophy embodied Feuerbach's philosophical thinking. This paper takes the analysis of the original work as its starting point, elaborates the basic standpoint of Feuerbach's perceptual ideas, reveals its inward shortage and practical significance, and mainly discusses his important influence on the Marx's formation.There are three parts in this paper. The first part discusses ideological background and theoretical sources of Feuerbach's perceptual ideas, infers the perceptual definition of Feuerbach through Kant, Hegel and others'perceptual definition, analyses his ideological roots through the inheritance of British Empiricism and critique of Hegel's idealistic thinking. The second part describes the main idea of Feuerbach's perceptual philosophy, analyses the principles and basis of Feuerbach's Humanism, that is, emphasizes the priority of person's perceptual desire in the field of will and emotion, emphasizes the ultimate status of person's perception in the field of Epistemology. The third part discusses the important effect of Feuerbach's perceptual ideas in the forming process of Marx's philosophy from three parts, that is, Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844, Karl Marx's Eleven Thesen On Feuerbach and The German Ideology.
