Media Reviews
Louis 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 One reads him with excitement. There is no mystery about his capacity to inspire the intelligent young. - Eric Hobsbawm
