Description

Louis Althusser's groundbreaking work, For Marx, first published in 1968, has had a profound impact on modern philosophy and political theory. This influential text is considered a key contribution to the development of "structuralist Marxism" and fundamentally changed the way many people understand Marx and Marxism. The book presents Althusser's analysis of the young Marx, the importance of Feuerbach, and his thesis on the "epistemological break" between early and late Marx. It also explores his conception of dialectics, contradiction, and "overdetermination," as well as a study of materialist theater and a critique of humanist readings of Marxism. Reading For Marx will provide insight into Althusser's original ideas and their enduring influence on intellectual thought.
