Eminent Italian historian Giovanni Levi once notably remarked that "no one is a Marxist anymore," pointing to a paradox in Italian cultural history. While what is called "Marxism" was supposedly hegemonic over Italian culture, and especially history writing, for decades in the postwar period, it then seems to have suddenly disappeared. This study questions such a vision of a monolithic and hegemonic Marxism. It starts from the most effective anecdote to all ideologising narratives-that is, research into the texts themselves. It sees the Marxist historiography of the post-1945 period as a "history in the making," in which references to Marxian theory were a fundamental factor driving historiographical innovation. This allows the book to bring to light a highly original experience in the development of historiography, based on the long Italian tradition of reflection on historical knowledge.

Religion has always been an object of philosophical analysis and a platform for political practice. Philosophical thinking is unimaginable without its relation to religion, whether it negates or affirms the latter. Indeed, religion serves as a condition for philosophy. Althusser and Theology intends not so much to fill a gap in Althusser scholarship as to contribute to the contemporary radical left.
