A presença de Feuerbach na lógica da filosofia de Eric Weil

Abstract

The presence of Feuerbach in the Category of God of Logique de la Philosophie (1950) by Eric Weil was discussed by interpreters of weiliana philosophy since 1970. In fact, it cannot be denied in principle such influence. Both Feuerbach and for Weil, God is a projection of man and theology is nothing more than anthropology. However, this does not mean that there are not differences between the position of Feuerbach and the Weil. Admittedly, to Eric Weil, the finite produces infinity, but this does not denote that the infinite is reduced to finite, like Feuerbach advocate. The discourse on God reveals an infinite sense, not fully grasped by finite man. What matters to Weil is the idea of freedom present in all human discourse, even in theological discourse. Therefore, the theological discourse cannot simply be ignored by philosophy.This article aims precisely highlight the similarities and differences of idea of God in Weil in relation to Feuerbach.
