‘[Feuerbach] does not see how the sensuous world around him is not a thing given direct from all eternity, remaining ever the same, but the product of industry and of the state of society; and, indeed, in the sense that it is an historical product, the result of the activity of a whole succession of generations, each standing on the shoulders of the previous one, developing its industry and its intercourse, modifying the social system according to the changed needs. Even the objects of the simplest “sensuous certainty” are only given to him through social development, industry and commercial intercourse.’ (Marx and Engels, 1845/1968: 57–8)
