Book Synopsis


Trade Review
This is a challenging and timely book which not only argues for the continuing fecundity of the thought of Althusser, but places it in a French Marxist tradition that has often been too hastily dismissed. Lewis's work is critical and concrete history of philosophy worthy of the object of study. -- Gavin Bowd, Lecturer in French, University of St. Andrews, Scotland
