The book traces five key 'detours and returns' between Althusser and Spinoza, showing how Spinoza's anti-humanism, theory of reading, immanent causality, politics of the conjuncture, and rejection of determinism were mobilised at critical junctures in Althusser's development. In the process, Estop uncovers a new 'Althusserian Spinoza', a thinker of practice and politics whose revolutionary potential remains to be explored. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBringing together published works, correspondences, and unpublished writings, this groundbreaking study sheds new light on Althusser's theoretical trajectory and reveals the hidden Spinozist foundations of one of the 20th century's most important Marxist thinkers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Domingo Sánchez Estop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399539892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399539890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Juan Domingo Sánchez Estop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47474065539327,"sku":"9781399539890","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f70ad9a-02b7-44b0-bfc8-279c64be48a2.jpg?v=1762314725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/althusser-and-spinoza-juan-domingo-szanchez-estop-9781399539890","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
