Spanning this deeply troubling period, this fourth and final volume of political and philosophical writings reveals Althusser wrestling in a creative and unorthodox fashion with a whole series of theoretical problems to produce some of his very finest work. In his profound exploration of questions of determinism and contingency, Althusser developed a philosophy of the encounter, which he links to a hidden and subterranean tradition in the history of Western thought which stretches from Epicurus through Spinoza and Machiavelli to Marx, Derrida and Heidegger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972037738784,"sku":"NEW184467553X","price":34.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71v1Bo8-FWL.jpg?v=1783790101","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/philosophy-of-the-encounter-later-writings-1978-1987-184467553x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
