message: The "you are what you eat" quote seems quite dubious. JohnJohn 03:39, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I was also doubtful but I googled it and it seems to be correct, or at least an attributed quote.  I went the freetranslation.com and it translated "Man ist was man isst" exactly as "One is what one eats".  --FranksValli 04:26, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Dubious Quote

message: Why is the fact that Feuerbach literally means "fire brook" relevant? It could be that I am missing the point of Nietsche's remark. Otherwise, I don't see the need for translating family names into English. AntonicKnight 22:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see the point either, removed the remark. Qwertyus 21:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Translating "Feuerbach"?

message: Would it be fair to say that Aristotle influenced Feuerbach? Feurerbach talks a lot about the 'essence' of things in The Essence of Christianity, which sounds pretty Aristotelian, and in the Introduction to The Essence of Christianity he mentions that "I refer the reader to the Analytics of Aristotle." --Filippo Argenti 17:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly Aristoteles´ analytical methods of thinking influenced Feuerbach. But much more influence stems from Epikuros whose quasi atheism and whose application of scientific thinking on philosophy were of crucial importance. Ontologix (talk) 06:25, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Feuerbach and Aristotle? 

message: In the section on The Essence of Christianity, there are several statements regarding Feuerbach's self–contradiction. It should be noted that he was a follower of Hegel. Hegel rejected the Laws of Thought that A equals A and that A does not equal not–A. According to Hegel, opposites are identical and contradictions are permissible, if not desirable and laudable.Lestrade (talk) 17:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Why are all of these works listed with the University's that contributed them to Google's acquisitions? The point of a bibliography is to list the publisher so that you can find the same edition/version as being referenced. These universities need to be replaced with the actual publishers that they were produced by and incorporated into the list... Stevenmitchell (talk) 06:25, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

message: It has been said that Marx criticised Feuerbach for not being sufficiently dialectical in his writings. Does this mean that Feuerbach was not really a Hegelian? --Oddeivind (talk) 10:25, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Dialectic is merely discussion or argument between two or more people. This is in contrast to rhetoric which is a speech by one person who does not expect a response from his audience. People engaged in dialectic long before Hegel was born. Marx may have thought that Feuerbach did not tolerate responses to his pronouncements.Lestrade (talk) 02:23, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Was Feuerbach a dialectical materialist? 

message: I realize that there's an earlier discussion of this topic above, but it's old and seems to have different concerns than I do.
I don't think that Feuerbach should be identified as an atheist in the lead. He attempts to distinguish his own view from atheism in the Essence of Christianity, his most well-known work. The SEP article is also pretty clear about him referring to his views as anthropotheism, not atheism.2601:B:C580:2D9:CAF7:33FF:FE77:D800 (talk) 03:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
