Om bidragsyterne
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.
