On Ideology by Louis Althusser
This major voice in French philosophy presents a classic study of how particular political and cultural ideas come to dominate society. Spanning the years 1964 to 1973, On Ideology contains the seminal text, Ideology and Ideological State Apparatus (1970), which revolutionized the concept of subject formation. In Reply to John Lewis (1972-73), Althusser addressed the criticisms of the English Marxist toward On Marx and Reading Capital. Also included are Freud and Lacan (1964) and A Letter on Art in Reply to Andre Daspre (1966).
One reads him with excitementThere is no mystery about his capacity to inspire the intelligent young. -- Eric Hobsbawm
Althusser traversed so many lives-so many personal, historical, philosophical and political adventures; marked, inflected, influenced so many discourses, actions and existences by the radiant and provocative force of his thought-that the most diverse and contradictory accounts could never exhaust their source. -- Jacques Derrida
