Feuerbach’s materialism retained a dualism between objective reality and human subjectivity

Evidence

Feuerbachian materialism, as defined and attacked in The German Ideology and in the Theses on Feuerbach , is not strictly materialist in that it is founded on a basic dualism between an objective reality and a separate realm of human subjectivity. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2770

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines what distinguishes Marx’s historical materialism from Feuerbachian materialism: the latter keeps subjectivity separate from objective reality.
• XREF: Connects to Marx’s Theses on Feuerbach and the Eleventh Thesis, useful as the foundational distinction the Scaffolding module’s materialism readings rest on.
