"The record of a subtle, independent, powerfully demystifying mind." -Terry Eagleton
Warren Montag is Associate Professor of English at Occidental College, Los Angeles. He is the author of Bodies, Masses, Power: Spinoza and his Contemporaries and the Unthinkable Swift.
Three decades ago, the work of Pierre Macherey helped to change the
face of literary studies. In this volume, he reappears in his more
customary persona of philosopher rather than literary theorist,
retaining all of his materialist rigour but widening his
intellectual range. This fascinating set of encounters with Hegel,
Lacan, Foucault, Spinoza and others is the record of a subtle,
independent, powerfully demystifying mind, as well as an historic
document in the after-life of so-called Althusserian Marxism.
