Sinopsis

Althusseráand Law is the first book specifically dedicated to the place of law in Louis AlthusserâÇÖs philosophy.áThe growing importance of AlthusserâÇÖs philosophy in contemporary debates on the left hasá- for practical and political, as well theoreticaláreasons - made a sustainedáconsideration of his conception of law more necessary than ever. As a form of what Althusser called âÇÖIdeological State ApparatusesâÇÖ, law is at the forefront of political struggles: from the destruction of Labour Law to the exploitation of Patent Law, from the privatisation of Public Law to the ongoing hegemony of Commercial Law, andáfrom the discourse on Human Rights to the practice of judicial courts. Is Althusser still useful in helping us to understand these struggles? Does he have something to teach us about how law is produced, and how it is used and misused? This collection demonstrates that AlthusserâÇÖs ideas about law are more important, and more contemporary, than ever. Indeed,áthe contributors to Althusser and Law argueáthat Althusser offers a new and invaluable perspective on the place of law in contemporary life.
