费尔巴哈论爱

Time Calls for Love——An Analysis of Feuerbach's Religion of Love

费尔巴哈的"爱的宗教"与传统的宗教有本质区别,是费尔巴哈作为一个无神论唯物主义哲学家热爱自然、热爱人类、热爱生活的崇高精神境界。他试图建立"新宗教"取代旧宗教,实质上是要建立新的唯物主义哲学世界观。他反对神学宗教,但不放弃追求理性信仰。他提出的"爱的宗教"表达了他对"人类之爱"的终极理想追求,不仅是当时思想界的一次大解放,也对我们今天建设社会主义和谐社会有重要的借鉴意义。

there is an essential difference between traditional religions and Feuerbach＇s religion of love, which represented Feuerbach＇s lofty realm of spirit of loving nature, humanity and life as an atheistic materialist philosopher. He seemingly tried to establish a ＂new religion＂ to replace the old one; as a matter of fact, he tried to establish a new world view of materialist philosophy. He opposed the theology of religion, but didn＇t give up rational belief. His religion of love, represented his ultimate ideal of love of humanity, not only was an intellectual emancipation at that time, but also has an important significance for building the socialist harmonious society today.
