The Left Hegelians

“Whoever says and knows no more than that I am an atheist says and knows as good as nothing of men. The question of whether a God does or does not exist belongs to the eighteenth and seventeenth century. I negate God; in my case this means that I negate the negation of man, in place of the illusory, fantastic, heavenly position of man, which in real life necessarily becomes the negation of man, I put the sensory, real and consequently necessarily also political and social position of man. The question of the existence or non-existence of God for me is precisely the question of the existence or non-existence of man.”
-Ludwig Feuerbach, Werke, 1846-66, I, p. xiv.
