This article discusses in comparative reading some of the main aspects of the philosophy of religion by Ludwig Feuerbach and Georg Simmel. Even though the different philosophical orientations, a genetic perspective brings the two philosophers to search in subjectivity the source of historically instituted religions. At the origin of religion are the living faith (Feuerbach) and the religiosity (Simmel), expressions of lived experience that include non-intellectual dimensions, such as feeling and emotion. When accessing non-conceptual areas of the human being, the philosophy of religion has close links with anthropology, explicitly sustained in Feuerbach, underlying in Simmel. In the first three points, the article analyzes the developments of the regressive method that leads from religion to the core of religiosity. In the final points, it accentuates the divergences between two worldviews, Simmel defending the assumption of a metaphysical nucleus in the human soul and Feuerbach pointing to the transformation of the religious impulses into the intersubjective realization of Humanity.
Keywords: Ludwig Feuerbach. Georg Simmel. Religion. Feeling. Anthropology.
