The first is the familiar Althusser, that of \u003ci\u003eFor Marx\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eReading Capital\u003c\/i\u003e. Symptomatically reading these canonical texts alongside Althusser's lesser-known writings, de Ípola reveals a second, subterranean current of thought that flows throughout Althusser's classic formulations and which only gains explicit expression in his later works. This subterranean current leads Althusser to move toward an aleatory materialism, or a materialism of the encounter. By explicating this key aspect of Althusser's theoretical practice, de Ípola revitalizes classic debates concerning major theoretico-political topics, including the relationship between Marxism, structuralism, and psychoanalysis; the difference between ideology, philosophy, and science; and the role of contingency and subjectivity in political encounters and social transformation. In so doing, he underscores Althusser's continuing importance to political theory and Marxist and post-Marxist thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmilio de Ípola is Distinguished Professor at the University of Buenos Aires and the author of several books in Spanish. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Étienne Balibar is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at Université Paris Nanterre, and the author of \u003ci\u003eEqualiberty\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Duke University Press.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 29, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47348559216889,"sku":"9780822370246","price":42.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/t9USMeBy2S9780822370246_ef4b7a3a-eb8f-4442-acdb-080dacb79722.webp?v=1769774683","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/althusser-the-infinite-farewell-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
