Althusser, Louis Reading Capital (1844673472)
Establishing a rigorous program of “symptomatic reading” that cuts through the silences and lacunae of
Capital to reveal its philosophical core, Louis Althusser interprets Marx’s structural analysis of production as a revolutionary
break—the basis of a completely new science. Building on a series of Althussers’s conceptual innovations that includes “overdetermination” and “social formation,” Étienne Balibar explores the historical and structural facets of production as Marx understood them, scrutinizing many of the most fundamental points in
Capital, as though for the first time.
