{"product_id":"philosophy-for-non-philosophers-louis-althusser-9781474299275","title":"Philosophy for Non-Philosophers","description":"In 1980, at the end of the most intensely political period of his work and life, Louis Althusser penned \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Non-philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e. Available here for the first time in English, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Non-philosophers \u003c\/i\u003econstitutes a rigorous and engaged attempt to address a wide reading public unfamiliar with Althusser's project. As such, the work is a concentration of the most fundamental theses of Althusser's own ideas, and presents a synthesis of his sprawling and disparate philosophical and political writings. Nowhere else does Althusser push the distinction between philosophy and other disciplines as far, or develop in such detail the concept of 'practice'. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than a work of 'popular philosophy', \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Non-philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e is a continuation and conglomeration of Althusser's thought; a thought whose radicality is still perceptible in those that have followed since. \u003ci\u003ePhilosophy for Non-philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e thus provides a vivid encapsulation of Althusser's seminal influence on the leading thinkers of today, including Ranciere, Badiou, Balibar, and Zizek.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louis Althusser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147429927X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474299275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2017","brand":"Louis Althusser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44245082538239,"sku":"9781474299275","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62f08dd3-e3a5-481c-938d-098dca171500.jpg?v=1693926022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philosophy-for-non-philosophers-louis-althusser-9781474299275","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
