Description
Louis Althusser's lecture course on Machiavelli offers a unique insight into the Marxist philosopher's thoughts on the Italian Renaissance thinker. Originally delivered at the École Normale Supérieure in 1972, this text was intermittently revised up to the mid-1980s and carefully prepared for publication after Althusser's death in 1990. Machiavelli's ideas had a profound impact on Althusser's work, alongside those of Spinoza and Marx. This book provides an opportunity to explore why Machiavelli was such an important influence on Althusser's thought, shedding light on the complexities of his oeuvre. By examining Althusser's engagement with Machiavelli, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the intellectual currents that shaped his philosophy.
