Lenin and Philosophy and Other Essays Kitap pdf indir

Louis Pierre Althusser (Fransızca: 16 Ekim 1918 - 22 Ekim 1990) Fransız Marksist bir filozoftu. Cezayir'de doğdu ve Paris'teki École normale supérieure'de okudu ve sonunda burada Felsefe Profesörü oldu. Althusser, Fransız Komünist Partisi'nin (Parti communiste français, PCF) uzun süredir üyesi ve bazen güçlü bir eleştirmeniydi. Argümanları ve tezleri, Marksizmin teorik temellerine saldırdığını gördüğü tehditlere karşı kuruldu. Bunlar, hem ampirizmin Marksist teori üzerindeki etkisini hem de Avrupa komünist partilerinde bölünmeler olarak tezahür eden hümanist ve reformist sosyalist yönelimleri ve ayrıca kişilik ve ideoloji kültü sorununu içeriyordu. Althusser, Fransız yapısalcılığının diğer okullarıyla olan ilişkisi basit bir yakınlık olmamasına ve yapısalcılığın birçok yönünü eleştirmesine rağmen, genellikle yapısal bir Marksist olarak anılır. Althusser'in yaşamı, yoğun akıl hastalığı dönemleriyle damgasını vurdu. 1980 yılında sosyolog olan karısı Hélène Rytmann'ı boğarak öldürdü. Delilik nedeniyle yargılanmaya uygun olmadığı ilan edildi ve üç yıl boyunca bir psikiyatri hastanesine yatırıldı. 1990'da ölen çok az akademik çalışma yaptı.

No figure among the western Marxist theoreticians has loomed larger in the postwar period than Louis Althusser. A rebel against the Catholic tradition in which he was raised, Althusser studied philosophy and later joined both the faculty of the Ecole normal superieure and the French Communist Party in 1948. Viewed as a "structuralist Marxist," Althusser was as much admired for his independence of intellect as he was for his rigorous defense of Marx. The latter was best illustrated in For Marx (1965), and Reading Capital (1968). These works, along with Lenin and Philosophy (1971) had an enormous influence on the New Left of the 1960s and continues to influence modern Marxist scholarship.
This classic work, which to date has sold more than 30,000 copies, covers the range of Louis Althusser's interests and contributions in philosophy, economics, psychology, aesthetics, and political science.
Marx, in Althusser's view, was subject in his earlier writings to the ruling ideology of his day. Thus for Althusser, the interpretation of Marx involves a repudiation of all efforts to draw from Marx's early writings a view of Marx as a "humanist" and "historicist."
Lenin and Philosophy also contains Althusser's essay on Lenin's study of Hegel; a major essay on the state, "Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses," "Freud and Lacan: A letter on Art in Reply to Andr Daspre," and "Cremonini, Painter of the Abstract." The book opens with a 1968 interview in which Althusser discusses his personal, political, and intellectual history.
"I am glad to be able to extend a few words of welcome to the reader who does me the honour of opening this book. 1 trust him : he will understand the political, ideological and theoretical arguments which inspired the already old philosophical essays in the Appendix ; he will discern in them an internal evolution and displacement giving rise to
the new Theses which appear in 'Lenin and Philosophy',  Preface to Capital Volume One' and 'Ideology and Ideo logical State Apparatuses'; he will realize that it is in the direction opened by the indications in these last texts that I now feel it necessary to pursue an investigation which I began more than fifteen years ago."
