Ludwig Feuerbach (n.) escapes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠through a double perception: a profane eye for the "flatly obvious" and a higher philosophical eye for the "true essence", invented to keep the harmony of man and nature undisturbed.

Ludwig Feuerbach (n.) takes ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠refuge in a higher perception and in compensation in the species when he sees scrofulous, overworked and consumptive starvelings instead of healthy men, and at that point he relapses into idealism.
