«Pensamientos sobre muerte e inmortalidad» is the philosophical essay by Ludwig Feuerbach, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Published anonymously in 1830 and famous for the controversy it aroused. In three chapters on God, the World and Consciousness, Feuerbach inverts Hegel's philosophy: it is not consciousness that judges God, but God who shows the finitude of human consciousness. He argues that immortality is not individual but of the species, since human dignity consists in feeling part of the vital flow of humanity.
Paperback edition of 272 pages. The author belongs to German idealism and trained with Hegel; this work connects with his later «La esencia del cristianismo».
Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach was a German philosopher and anthropologist who was a leading figure among the Young Hegelians. He is best known for his 1841 book, The Essence of Christianity, which argued that God is a projection of the essential attributes of humanity. His critique of religion formed the basis for his advocacy of atheism, materialism, and sensualism. His thought served as a critical bridge between the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and that of Karl Marx.
