Louis Althusser
Over de Auteur
Louis Althusser was a prominent French philosopher and a key figure in Marxist theory. His work primarily focused on ideology, the nature of the state, and the role of philosophy in social theory. Althusser's theories emphasized the importance of structuralism and the idea that individuals are shaped by their social contexts. He was influential in the development of a new interpretation of Marxism that sought to distance itself from traditional humanist approaches, arguing for a view that sees individuals as products of ideological structures rather than autonomous agents.
