Althusser: The Dictator Of Theory by Gregory Elliott
First published in 1987, Althusser, The Detour of Theory was widely received as the fullest account of its subject to date. Drawing on a wide range of hitherto untranslated material, it examined the political and intellectual contexts of Althusser's `return to Marx' in the mid-1960s and proclamaed of a `crisis of Marxism'. It concluded with a balance-sheet of Althusser's contribution to historical materialism. In this second edition, Gregory Elliott has added a substantial postscript in which he surveys the posthumous edition of the French philosopher's work.Gregory Elliott is a Newcastle University Visiting Fellow. Ends in Sight (Pluto, 2008), Perry Anderson: The Merciless Laboratory of History (1998), and Althusser: The Detour of Theory (2nd edition, 2006) are among his publications.
