Essays in Self-Criticism contains all of Louis Althusser's work
from the 1970s. It is composed of three texts, each of which in a
different way presents elements of self-criticism. The first is
Althusser's extended reply to the English philosopher John Lewis.
In it he for the first time discusses the problem of the political
causes of Stalinism, which he argues should be seen as the
consequence of a long tradition of economism within the Second and
Third Internationals. The second major essay, written soon
afterwards, sets out Althusser's critical assessment of his own
philosophical work in the 60's, including the extent and limits of
his 'flirtation' with structuralism. The book ends with an
autobiographical study of Althusser's intellectual development from
1945 to 1975, given on the occasion of his reception of a doctorate
at the University of Picardy. The political thought of the 'new'
Althusser is presented to English readers in a special introduction
by his pupil Grahame Lock, which considers at length the lessons it
sees in Soviet experience for contemporary communism.
