Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Originally published in 1965, Reading Capital is a landmark of French thought and radical theory, reconstructing Western Marxism from its foundations. Louis Althusser, the French Marxist philosopher, maintained that Marx's project could only be revived if its scientific and revolutionary novelty was thoroughly divested of all traces of humanism, idealism, Hegelianism and historicism. In order to complete this critical rereading, Althusser and his students at the École normale supérieure ran a seminar on Capital, re-examining its arguments, strengths and weaknesses in detail, and it was out of those discussions that this book was born.Previously only available in English in highly abridged form, this edition, appearing fifty years after its original publication in France, restores chapters by Roger Establet, Pierre Macherey and Jacques Rancière. It includes a major new introduction by Étienne Balibar.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This remarkable text, first published in 1964, was a landmark of its era and remains, in the words of Michael Löwy, a work of 'remarkable richness.' Drawing on Georg Lukács' History and Class Consciousness, Lucien Goldmann applies the concept of 'world visions' to flesh out the similarities between Pascal's Pensées and Kant's critical philosophy, contrasting them with the rationalism of Descartes and the empiricism of Hume.For Goldmann, a leading exponent of the most fruitful method of applying Marxist ideas to literary and philosophical problems, the 'tragic vision' marked an important phase in the development of European thought, as it moved from rationalism and empiricism to the dialectical philosophy of Hegel, Marx and Lukàcs. Here he offers a general approach to the problems of philosophy, of literary criticism, and of the relationship between thought and action in human society.
