Heidegger’s influence extended even to anti-humanist Marxism like Althusser

Evidence

Even Althusser’s writing bears the mark of Heidegger’s influence. The significance of Heidegger for French anti-humanism lay in what Habermas calls ‘the lack of ambiguity with which he places subject-centred reason on trial’, ‘delineating the modern dominance of the subject in terms of a history of metaphysics.’ — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism, 297
