Writings on Psychoanalysis by Louis Althusser
With several never-before published writings, this volume gathers Althusser's major essays on psychoanalytic thought--documenting his intense and ambivalent relationship with Lacan, and dramatizing his intellectual journey and troubled personal life.
.. tackles topics and problems which are not at all over and done with in the human sciences, namely the relation between philosphy (theory) and (the human) science(s), a theory of historical, non-linear temporality and a theory of the 'decentred' subject... the theses and thoughts unfolded... testify to an exceedingly fertile appropriation of Freud, the long-term effect of which has yet to be assessed. European Journal of Social Theory Splendidly brought together and presented... a fascinating group of historical documents... Revealing. Boston Book Review
