Become an Althusserian

The list author says:
	"Classic essays including 'Contradiction and Overdetermination'. There's no easy way in to Althusser, so you might as well start here as everyone does,"

The list author says:
	"The hardest, and equally rewarding of the high-Althusserian texts of the mid-1960s."

The list author says:
	"Superb, comprehensive intellectual biography. A tour de force of engaged academic writing."

The list author says:
	"The first work of the break from dialectical materialism as the Theory of theory. Thenceforth philosophy has no object and simply makes demarcations in defence of science."

The list author says:
	"Further rectification of his position in favour of class struggle."

The list author says:
	"Published in 1974, Althusser indicts his earlier 'speculative rationalist' deviation leading to 'theoreticism'."

The list author says:
	"Containing his fragmentary writings from the 1980s after killing his wife, the 'aleatoiry materialism' expounded here, and so beloved by post-structuralist authors, marks a turn away from Marxism."

The list author says:
	"Essays from the front line of the mid 1960s ideological battles against revisionist humanism."

The list author says:
	"Excellent volume which contains Ranciere and Macherey's contributions to the first edition of Reading Capital (cut from 2nd ed and English translation)."
