Which thinker did Feuerbach influence with his critique of Christianity?

  • Karl Marx

  • Immanuel Kant

  • Thomas Hobbes

  • John Locke

Answer

The answer is Karl Marx. Feuerbach's critique of Christianity, particularly his emphasis on the alienation of human essence and his concept of Gattungswesen, heavily influenced Marx's philosophical and economic thought. Marx built upon Feuerbach's ideas, incorporating them into his theory of historical materialism and his critique of capitalism, ultimately shaping his revolutionary and communist ideologies.
