Ludwig Feuerbach, language, knowledge, practical philosophyAbstract
This article aims at dealing with Ludwig Feuerbach’s (1804-1872) assessment of language as a philosophical problem seen in his work De Ratione, una, universali, infinita (1828). Notwithstanding that the specialized literature hardly tackles the importance of this theme within the theoretical contribution of Feuerbach, consigning it to a second order issue or rarely referring to it as a question discussed by the thinker, this article, on the other hand, moves language to the center in an attempt to offer an alternative reading of De Ratione, something done based on the treatment of some complementary steps, such as, (i) the challenge of discussing a semantic issue in the Feuerbachian assessment of the problem, which led to the insertion of certain aspects in the debate considered as having great repercussion for the whole of Feuerbach's philosophical construction - such as the question of knowledge, for example - and (ii) the insistence on the reality of a dialogic understanding of the human being based on the problem of language, something that offers significant implications for elements associated with the practical domain of Feuerbachian thought.
