Feuerbach: # Feuerbach Feuerbach most commonly refers to Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872), a German philosopher who argued that religion is not based on divine truth but rather is a human creation reflecting our own desires and needs. He believed people invented God by projecting their own qualities onto an imaginary being, and that we should focus on human welfare and relationships instead of religious faith. His ideas were influential in shaping modern criticism of religion and inspired later thinkers like Karl Marx.
essence of Man(what Feuerbach believed we should look to instead of God): The core, fundamental nature or qualities that make humans human—like our capacity for reason, compassion, or morality.
immanent(Rickert's epistemological framework): To carry the form of being-conscious (Bewußtheit), as understood relative to the epistemological subject
self-surveillance(as used in feminist philosophy and social critique): The act of constantly monitoring or policing one's own behavior, appearance, or actions—often because of social pressure or fear of judgment.
