"This is an excellent introduction to the thought of Althusser and what he was on about. And, as cannot be said for every book of essays, each successive essay is better than the previous. The crowning essay is probably "Dialectical Materialism," but I prefer "Marxism and Humanism." In the latter, Althusser really lays out the argument that ideology is ALWAYS present, which is a notion many who might attempt to contrast "ideology" with "pragmatism" might have never even thought about.
Anyway, good stuff. It reads a little dry (but it's "scientific" Marxism so what can one expect?), but it's utterly readable. I wish Lacan were this readable."
"this 1965 book gives key pointers for sorting out and thinking through and reformulating some theoretical questions about the present and recent history which have been plaguing me in the past year or two."
By Roger,
STOURPORT, WEST MIDLANDS, The United Kingdom
"Unreadable rubbish that tries to reduce Marx to a structuralist sociology. A continuation of Stalinism's attack on Marxism and the worst thing to happen to social analysis and critical theory since Uncle Joe came to power in person."
"I didn't finish all of it yet, but Althusser is really helping me to understand: how to pull Marx away from Hegel. How to read early Marx as ideology, as a whole, from the perspective of later Marxist theory. All written with a lot of love."
