"We do not publish our own drafts, that is, our own mistakes, but we do sometimes publish other people's," Louis Althusser once observed of Marx's early writings. Among his own posthumously released drafts, one, at least, is incontestably neither mistake nor out-take: the text of his lecture course on Machiavelli, originally delivered at the ???cole Normale Sup???rieure in 1972, intermittently revised up to the mid-1980s, and carefully prepared for publication after his death in 1990. Though only appearing as an occasional reference in the Marxist philosopher's oeuvre, Machiavelli was an unseen constant presence. For together with Spinoza and Marx, Machiavelli was a veritable Althusserian passion. Machiavelli and Us reveals why, and will be welcomed for the light it sheds on the richly complex thought of its author.

Good Condition. Cover slightly rubbed and marked. All pages free from notes or highlighting. Sound overall. Publisher's note: In Machiavelli and Us, a giant of French philosophy reveals the vital `materialism of the encounter' at the centre of Machiavelli's thought. The unsettled utopianism of The Prince and The Discourses returns through Althusser's reading as a challenge to contemporary political theory. Marx and Gramsci are called upon to augment Machiavelli's visions of state and popular will, which alongside a robust account of ideology shed light on both Althusser and his early modern double Size: 19.7 x 13 x 1 cm. 160 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 250 grams.
