French philosopher Louis Pierre Althusser (1918 -1990) helped
define the politico-theoretical conjuncture of pre- and post-1968.
Today, there is a recrudescence of interest in his thought,
especially in light of his later work, published in English as
Philosophy of the Encounter (Verso, 2006). This has led to renewed
debates on the reformulation of conflicting notions of materialism,
on the event as both philosophical concept and political
construction, and on the nature of politics and the political.
These original essays by leading scholars aim to provide a new
assessment of Althusser's thought, especially in relation to
contemporary debates. Organized in four sections that represent the
main currents in Althusser's scholarship, the book discusses
materialism and the different formulations of the relationship
between politics and philosophy, Althusser's interpretations of
political thinkers (including Machiavelli, Deleuze and Gramsci),
the resources he provides to critique political economy and
politics in post-Marxist thought, and the theorization of ideology
and politics.
Encountering Althusser is a groundbreaking resource that highlights
Althusser's continuing relevance to contemporary radical thought.
