Synopsis

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)."

Media Reviews
One reads him with excitement. There is no mystery about his capacity to inspire the intelligent young. Eric Hobsbawm A golden treasury of theory Eric Banks, Bookforum Verso's beautifully designed Radical Thinkers series, which brings together seminal works by leading left-wing intellectuals, is a sophisticated blend of theory and thought. The 12 authors whose writings are included in the series have worked tirelessly to expose the mechanisms by which culture and knowledge are manufactured, managed and controlled.
