Re: Althusser & Hegel.
Those debating on this thread appear not to know that Althusser did indeed
make a serious study of Hegel, writing a dissertation on him that was
published not too long ago by Verso. There are several astonishing things
about this. First it is an excellent book on Hegel, especially considering
its early date. Second how come after making such a serious study he was so
crudely dismissive of hegel later. Third - throughout this work Althusser
wrote explicitly as a humanist Marxist. Thus the later anti-huanism is a
self-criticism.
