Description for Philosophy and the Spontaneous Philosophy of the Scientists
Paperback. A collection of essays by the leading French thinker Series: Radical Thinkers. Num Pages: 320 pages. BIC Classification: HPS; JPFC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 130 x 24. Weight in Grams: 350.
Intended to contribute, in his own words, to a "left-wing critique of Stalinism that would help put some substance back into the revolutionary project here in the West," they are the record of a shared history. At the same time they chart Althusser's critique of the theoretical system unveiled in his own major works, and his developing practice of philosophy as a "revolutionary weapon." Attesting to the unique place which Althusser has occupied in modern intellectual history-between a tradition of Marxism which he sought to reconstruct, and a "post-Marxism" which has eclipsed its predecessor-these texts are indispensable reading.

Reviews for Philosophy and the Spontaneous Philosophy of the Scientists
Louis Althusser influenced so many discourses, actions and existences by the radiant and provocative force of his thought.
Jacques Derrida (in praise of Louis Althusser) One reads him with excitement. There is no mystery about his capacity to inspire the intelligent young.
