Althusser delivered these lectures on Rousseau's Discourse on the
Origins of Inequality at the Ecole normale superieure in Paris in
1972. They are fascinating for two reasons. First, they gave rise
to a new generation of Rousseau scholars, attentive not just to
Rousseau's ideas, but also to those of his concepts that were
buried beneath metaphors or fictional situations and characters.
Second, we are now discovering that the "late Althusser's" theses
about aleatory materialism and the need to break with the strict
determinism of theories of history in order to devise a new
philosophy "for Marx" were being worked out well before 1985 in
this reading of Rousseau dating from twelve years earlier, which
introduces into Rousseau's text the ideas of the void, the
accident, the take, and the necessity of contingency.
