Ludwig Feuerbach Quotes About Reality

Quotes about: Reality

• Religion is the dream of the human mind. But even in dreams we do not find ourselves in emptiness or in heaven, but on earth, in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendor of imagination and caprice, instead of in the simple daylight of reality and necessity.

  Ludwig Feuerbach

  Dream, Real, Simple

  Ludwig Feuerbach (2012). “The Essence of Christianity”, p.12, Courier Corporation

• The present age ... prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, fancy to reality, the appearance to the essence ... for in these days illusion only is sacred, truth profane.

  Ludwig Feuerbach

  Reality, Essence, Atheism

  Ludwig Feuerbach (2012). “The Essence of Christianity”, p.12, Courier Corporation

• I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching and writing, not the abstract, particular, professional philosopher, but universal man, that I have regarded man as the criterion of truth, and not this or that founder of a system, and have from the first placed the highest excellence of the philosopher in this, that he abstains, both as a man and as an author, from the ostentation of philosophy, i. e., that he is a philosopher only in reality, not formally, that he is a quiet philosopher, not a loud and still less a brawling one.
