Althusser’s critics.
Tony Judt sharply rebukes French communist philosopher Louis Althusser (*) in a reprint of a 7 March 1994 New Republic essay. (†) Althusser was a radical guru in the 60s. Judt finds that claims of Althusser’s intellectual respectability are not maintainable, even though such claims are still made in some learned halls here in the United States.
