A ESCRITA E O MÉTODO NA FILOSOFIA DE LUDWIG FEUERBACH

The article presented in the following lines seeks to examine the work of the German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach in order to clarify a certain methodological issue in the writer's work. Despite adopting his own methodology called genetic-criticism and basing his philosophical analysis on a deep hermeneutics, the philosopher has his work permeated by a range of stylistics that are unusual in philosophical writings, using satire and humor as tools for the elaboration of his philosophical project and his criticism of religion. In this sense, Feuerbach's work is permeated by influences from the most diverse places, which ends up turning his methodology into a patchwork with literary, humorous, scientific and philosophical elements and, in the midst of all this, the author builds his own method. The author's methodological proposition therefore consists of appropriating the religious element using his writings, seeking to unveil this phenomenon and demonstrate how this phenomenon is nothing more than a reflection of its opposite. In this case, Feuerbach seeks to deconstruct his object of criticism in order to guide the elaboration of a new philosophy concerned with humanity.
