Description
Althusser and His Contemporaries offers a fresh perspective on French philosophy of the 1960s and 1970s. Warren Montag's in-depth analysis draws on thousands of pages of previously unpublished work, including Althusser's posthumous publications, manuscripts, lecture notes, letters, and marginalia. Montag examines Althusser's philosophical project as a series of encounters with his contemporaries, particularly Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, and Lacan. He reveals that Althusser's major philosophical confrontations revolved around three key themes: structure, subject, and beginnings and endings. This new understanding sheds light on structuralism, poststructuralism, and the extraordinary moment of French thought in the 1960s and 1970s. By reading Althusser through his engagement with other thinkers, Montag provides a thoroughgoing reevaluation of Althusser's philosophical project.
