Synopsis

Collected here are Althusser's most significant philosophical writings from 1965 to 1978. Intended to contribute, in his own words, to a """"left-wing critique of Stalinism that would help put some substance back into the revolutionary project here in the West,"""" they are the record of a shared history. At the same time they chart Althusser's critique of the theoretical system unveiled in his own major works, and his developing practice of philosophy as a """"revolutionary weapon."""" Attesting to the unique place which Althusser has occupied in modern intellectual history-between a tradition of Marxism which he sought to reconstruct, and a """"post-Marxism"""" which has eclipsed its predecessor-these texts are indispensable reading.
