I want to know the answer to the following question:
The author's ideas would later influence what well known philosopher?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The German materialist and atheist anthropologist Ludwig Feuerbach would signal a new turn in materialism through his book, The Essence of Christianity (1841), which provided a humanist account of religion as the outward projection of man's inward nature.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
