Résumé :
|
Althusser (1918-90) made a minor mark in 20th-century French intellectual history with his teachings on Marxism. Outside the academy, he may be better known as the professor who murdered his wife and then spent time in the insane asylum rather than standing trial. The current volume brings together two pieces that are personal rather than philosophical: "The Future Lasts a Long Time" was written some years after his wife's death in 1980 but reaches back to detail Althusser's childhood and adolescence; "The Facts," written in 1976, covers that distant past more quickly and pithily. While these two memoirs are well presented, and the former does provide an interesting view of the murder, this publication does nothing to advance philosophical scholarship. Casual readers of contemporary biography may be interested.
