Contribution to the philosophy of Hegel:
ü Development of the dialectical method
ü Development of the doctrine of the law and the state as an integral component of the absolute idea
Ludwig Andreas von Feuerbach (1804-1872)
Feuerbach was a disciple of Hegel, but then rejected his theory of criticism. Feuerbach first revealed the contradiction between the method and system of Hegel. He criticized Hegel for excessive (шектең тыс/чрезмерный) abstractness of his reasoning, and their isolation from the specific problems of man.
According to Feuerbach's philosophy is to deal with the specific problems of man. He offered to rename philosophy to anthropology and the science of man. Main goal according to Feuerbach is to promote maximum for the self-realization of the person. The religion put a person in a low position, kills confidence and prevents his development. People have created gods in their own image and likeness (ұқсастық/подобие). They needed, ideally, a model and have created it, giving the qualities that would like to see. Then, after a few generations, this ideal was perceived as a kind of super idol, that was, God. Therefore the person left in the low position. In the center of the new religion must be put the person who will regain the lost quality attributed to the gods.
Feuerbach was well known in his criticism of the contradictions of philosophy of Hegel and humanistic nature of his teachings. He was one of the first to attempt to give a philosophical justification for the cause of the religion.
The value of German classical philosophy
German classical philosophers have made a huge contribution to the development of the whole philosophy. They have developed and proposed a theory of knowledge and ethical questions. This line of German philosophy was dominant in the XIX century. Because of this it was named as the "classic". German classical philosophy had a huge impact on such exercises of the second half of XIX century as Marxism and positivism.
