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