Available here for the first time in English, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Non-philosophers \u003c\/i\u003econstitutes a rigorous and engaged attempt to address a wide reading public unfamiliar with Althusser's project. As such, the work is a concentration of the most fundamental theses of Althusser's own ideas, and presents a synthesis of his sprawling and disparate philosophical and political writings. Nowhere else does Althusser push the distinction between philosophy and other disciplines as far, or develop in such detail the concept of 'practice'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than a work of 'popular philosophy', \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Non-philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e is a continuation and conglomeration of Althusser's thought; a thought whose radicality is still perceptible in those that have followed since. \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Non-philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e thus provides a vivid encapsulation of Althusser's seminal influence on the leading thinkers of today, including Ranciere, Badiou, Balibar, and Zizek.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouis Althusser\u003c\/b\u003e was a prominent French philosopher of the late twentieth century.
