The best piece of Feuerbach's mind you can buy; peace of mind in a single volume

February 8, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A classic which so lovingly deals with the very finest of human qualities that before the last pages you know you might be an atheist and an admirer of The Christ, too. So clearly written in the German language that the translation job by "George Eliot" was an event which lost nothing. You remember George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) as the author of "The Mill on the Floss" and "Silas Marner" . This book explains exactly what it means to be born into a culture altered by Christianity. It might be good to start the book about one third of the way in as the first third is thin gruel unless you have philosophical training. Once upon a time, this book was very hard to find. The book is so wonderful, you tend not to keep it in your library because one gives it away, but buy again it when you need an emotional lift. It is a rigorous empirical treatment of the anthropomorphic and at the same time encorporating the celebration of the accomplishment. The best minds of Christendom worked on this for about 1000 years, and it shows. Should be a part of a modern canon. Most graceful writing.

*Terrible* edition of a great and influential book

October 12, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Most of the positive reviews of this title seem to be responding to the work itself: i.e. the text of the translation of the book by Ludwig Feuerbach. With that assessment, I would concur. He had an obvious and explicit impact on the thinking of Marx and other post-Hegelian thinkers and is an interesting thinker in his own right (more than he is given credit for).

However, this is a TERRIBLE edition of the work. The text is not well-edited: there are clear typos, missing or erroneous punctuation, etc. There is none of the standard bibliographical information: place, publisher, date. They don't even give credit to the translator of the work.

I think these various problems are related: it looks like a sloppy job of OCR scanning of an out-of-copyright work for which there is still a small, but ongoing demand by university students by some kind of on-demand publishing outfit. It's a shame they didn't do a decent job of preparing a proper book for publication.

I recommend looking for a used copy of one of the older editions, such as that with the essays by Barth and Niebuhr.

That George Eliot's name is misspelled on the front cover should probably be a clue. This is an awful edition — basically a xerox. The entire bottom line of a footnote is simply cut off (p.27). At $11, this book is way overpriced.

This is a junk version, missing letters and badly formatted. A rip-off.

Binding terrible!

Binding of this edition is terrible; no glue on the top of binding, which results in a very loose paperback cover.
Contents as advertised.

The language is so hard to understand. Unless you're looking for a literature level jargon, buy another version of this book with simplified English which is ~3 times faster to read.

This is an important book in the history of religious thought. Thinkers will love it. I'm very glad I finally read it for myself.
