According to him, God does not possess external or independent existence from man, being only the objectified human nature, confused as a transcendent essence. Therefore, we will demonstrate that the development of this thesis culminate, for Feuerbach, in the revelation of the main “secrets” and “contradictions” of christianity, allowing men to “reappropriate” their alienated essence in God. Developing this presupposition, Feuerbach presents the central role of the imagination in religion, its relation with the desires and feelings of the human heart, as well as the happiness as the ultimate goal of religion. Therewith, the philosopher intends to prove that men is the principle, the center and the end of religion, and that religion can be totally reduced to anthropology.Neste artigo pretendemos apresentar ”“ e não defender ”“ as principais teses de Feuerbach em sua mais famosa obra, “A essência do cristianismo” (1841), em especial a tese de que Deus é a projeção inconsciente e involuntária dos atributos essenciais da natureza humana. Para Feuerbach, Deus não possui existência externa ou independente do homem, mas é a própria essência humana objetificada, porém confundida com uma essência transcendente. Assim, mostraremos que o desenvolvimento desta tese culmina, para Feuerbach, na revelação dos principais “segredos” e “contradições” do cristianismo, permitindo ao homem a “reapropriação” de sua essência alienada em Deus. Desenvolvendo esse pressuposto, Feuerbach apresenta o papel central da imaginação na religião, sua relação com os desejos e sentimentos do coração humano, bem como a felicidade como o fim último da religião. Com isso, o filósofo pretende provar que o homem é o princípio, centro e fim da religião, e que esta se reduz inteiramente à  antropologia.Priscila Rossinetti Rufinoni2018-01-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/polemos/article/view/1176010.26512/pl.v6i12.11760PÓLEMOS – Revista de Estudantes de Filosofia da Universidade de Brasília; v. 6 n. 12 (2017); 08 - 172238-76922238-769210.26512/pl.v6i12reponame:Pólemos (Brasília)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/polemos/article/view/11760/10334Copyright (c) 2018 Pólemosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRodovalho Amaral, Vitor 2021-12-28T19:42:56Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/11760Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/polemos/PUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/polemos/oaiperiodicos.bce@unb.br | polemosunb@gmail.com2238-76922238-7692opendoar:2021-12-28T19:42:56Pólemos (Brasília) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
