In the late 1970s and 1980s, Louis Althusser endured a period of
intense mental instability during which he murdered his wife and
was committed to a psychiatric hospital. Spanning this deeply
troubling period, this fourth and final volume of political and
philosophical writings reveals Althusser wrestling in a creative
and unorthodox fashion with a whole series of theoretical problems
to produce some of his very finest work. In his profound
exploration of questions of determinism and contingency, Althusser
developed a "philosophy of the encounter," which he links to a
hidden and subterranean tradition in the history of Western thought
which stretches from Epicurus through Spinoza and Machiavelli to
Marx, Derrida and Heidegger.
