ISBN: 1-58367-039-4 (pbk) 212 pages Lenin and Philosophy, and Other Essays by Louis Althusser, Introduction by Fredric Jameson No figure loomed larger than Althusser in Marxist thought in the West during the 1960s and 70s — the decades in which the Soviet model was discredited in the West and new avenues opened up in Marxist philosophy and politics. Althusser stood out for his attempt to define a Marxist philosophy that was rigorous, scientific, and revolutionary. In the process he set new standards of argumentation for Marxist theory. As Jameson shows in his introduction, the essays that had so massive and fertile an influence in those decades continue to speak to us today.
