A New translation into English from the original manuscript of Feuerbach's 1850 "Die Naturwissenschaft und die Revolution", with an introduction, glossary of Feuerbachian terminology and a timeline of his life and works.
"Die Naturwissenschaft und die Revolution" (Natural Science and the Revolution) is a political work published in 1850 that reflects Feuerbach's views on the relationship between science and politics. In this work, Feuerbach argues that the natural sciences have the potential to bring about a revolution in society and politics, but that this revolution can only be achieved through a fundamental change in the way society is organized. Here, he heavily emphasizes education. This is a critical work in the history of political thought, and its emphasis on the role of the natural sciences in bringing about a revolution in society continues to be relevant and influential in contemporary political discourse. Schopenhauer and Nietzsche both take their satirical criticism about religion from Feuerbach, and every aspect of Marxism can be found here in Marx's favorite Philosopher. Feuerbach is a critical figure in the development of not merely Marxism, but Materialistic Humanism in general. Feuerbach is critical to understanding Marx.
