This text presents the translation of the article “Sensualism and Ethicity in Ludwig Feuerbach”, by Draiton Gonzaga de Souza, originally written in German. The study explores the ethical and anthropological foundations of Feuerbach’s philosophy, with a particular focus on his later writings, where he develops a sensualist-based morality that offers a critical stance on religion and metaphysics. By making this translation available, the aim is to provide Portuguese-speaking scholars access to an important reflection on egoism, ethics, and recognition within Feuerbach’s moral philosophy.
