Description
Althusser, The Infinite Farewell by Emilio de Ípola explores two distinct projects in Althusser's oeuvre. By examining his lesser-known writings alongside canonical texts like For Marx and Reading Capital, de Ípola reveals a subterranean current of thought that underlies Althusser's classic formulations. This new perspective sheds light on Althusser's development towards an aleatory materialism, which emphasizes the role of contingency and subjectivity in political encounters. De Ípola's work revitalizes debates in Marxist theory and its intersections with structuralism, psychoanalysis, and philosophy. It also highlights the distinction between ideology, philosophy, and science, and the significance of these concepts in understanding Althusser's thought. This book offers a nuanced analysis of Althusser's theoretical practice and its ongoing relevance to political theory and post-Marxist thought. By examining Althusser's work through this new lens, de Ípola provides a fresh perspective on one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.
