Sperber (2014) discusses this on p. 112ff.<br /><br />Around 1837-1842, Marx was strongly influenced by Bruno Bauer.

Under Bauer’s influence, Marx became an anti-religious atheist."<br /><br />This looks wrong. Bauer was the best of Hegel's students. He visited Marx and encouraged him to read more Hegel at one point. Marx's philosophy mainly goes back to Feuerbach (probably the worst of Hegel's followers).<br /><br />On a side-note, it was through the Hegelians that a certain type of religiosity crept into Marxist thinking. Hegel was a Christian and key components of his philosophy -- specifically the Romantic components -- were definitively Christian. Much of the Marxist stuff about 'alienation' and all that is an attempt to secularise Christian principles.Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-92231283362718293912015-04-20T15:06:54.762-07:002015-04-20T15:06:54.762-07:00Which book is better and which do you recommend?Which book is better and which do you recommend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
