Authors

Keywords:

Hegelians, Marxism, Critique

Abstract

Feuerbach is one of the representatives of the young Hegelian. In the book The German Ideology, Marx analyzed the state of German ideology at that time through the comparison between materialism and idealism, and criticized him. Marx criticized Feuerbach’s conception of “human nature”, the limitations of materialism, his understanding of “reality” and his understanding of historical relations, starting from real people and their production. This critique laid the foundation for the development of Marxist materialist historiography.
