Biographical note
Louis Althusser was born in Algeria in 1918 and died in France in 1990. He taught Philosophy for many years at the Ecole Normale Superieur in Paris, and was a leading intellectual in the French Communist Party.Louis Althusser influenced so many discourses, actions and existences by the radiant and provocative force of his thought.
- Jacques Derrida (in praise of Louis Althusser),
One reads him with excitement. There is no mystery about his capacity to inspire the intelligent young.
- Eric Hobsbawm (in praise of Louis Althusser),
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.
