There can be little doubt that Louis Althusser was one of the most
influential philosophers of the twentieth century, and his
influence subsists in many of the concepts currently deployed in
disciplines such as cultural studies, social theory and literary
criticism. Yet Althusser was also a leading intellectual in the
French Communist Party and a foremost participant in the debates in
the human sciences that are marked by the names of Claude
Levi-Strauss, Jacques Lacan and Georges Canguilhem. His writings
were major interventions in a specific political and theoretical
conjuncture and it is this aspect of his work that this new
collection of previously untranslated texts seeks to reflect.
Consisting of writings from the very height of Althusser's
intellectual powers, during the period 1966-67, this book covers,
among other things, the critique of Levi-Strauss's structuralism,
the theory of discourse and its relationship to psychoanalysis, the
place of Ludwig Feuerbach, the tasks of Marxist philosophy, and the
famous "humanist controversy."
