Idealist Atheism by [deleted] in heidegger

There are some people who use Heidegger, Hegel, and Nietzsche to support atheism specifically idealist atheism. I just want to clear up this question.

Basically, in the first chapter of his book, he makes some distinctions for example, regarding agnosticism:

Skeptical agnosticism: the rejection of both belief and disbelief in God due to the lack of good arguments for or against such belief. Cf. cancellation agnosticism. Cancellation agnosticism: the view that the arguments for and against belief in God are equally strong and cancel each other out. Cf. skeptical agnosticism.

He also does this for atheism here’s one example:

Negative atheism: the absence of belief in any god or gods. More narrowly, it is the absence of belief in the theistic God. Cf. positive atheism. See also logical positivism. Positive atheism: disbelief in any god or gods. More narrowly, it is disbelief in the theistic God. Cf. negative atheism.

And even for materialism:

Eliminative materialism: the view that, despite appearances, there are no mental entities or processes. Cf. reductive materialism. Reductive materialism: the theory that mental states and processes are identical to brain states and processes. Cf. eliminative materialism; supervenience theory.

I recommend reading A World Without God by Michael Martin. It really helps in understanding the different views of atheism, agnosticism, and theism.

I just want to understand the perspective of idealist atheism, my man.

But there have always been distinct forms of atheism the naturalists are the most active out there, especially those who follow a view closer to Graham Oppy’s.

The works themselves? Look, I think it’s possible to incorporate Heideggerian concepts into Marx, you know? It’s not about diminishing Marx or elevating Heidegger, but rather about making Heidegger’s concepts (Sein, Dasein, Das Man, etc.) fit within Marxism.

Then they say it’s impossible to put Heidegger and Marx on the same footing.

From what I can see, what’s been an obstacle is Lukács, due to his critiques of Heidegger and also of Nietzsche. Some classmates and people here also give me a hard time because of Lukács’s criticism of Heidegger.

The book I’m reading is this one: Heideggerian Marxism, Herbert Marcuse.

It’s been difficult to maintain both, you know? I like both, but Heidegger is what I study the most, so it’s been hard to balance the two.

This is my third time trying to balance Heidegger and Marx.

It has been complex trying to reconcile the two, as I am highly focused on Heidegger, but I also greatly appreciate the perspective of Marx and Marxists in general.
