Etienne Balibar.For Althusser. RM 4(1):9-12 "In For Althusser, Etienne Balibar (U of Paris, France) offers a eulogy, praising Althusser's contributions to Marxism and philosophy and illuminating aspects of his troubled personal life. With its style of presentation, subject, and its theoretical complexity, Althusser's For Marx (New York: Random House, 1970) is lauded as his greatest achievement, and is viewed as the major Marxist contribution to cultural criticism in the latter half of the twentieth century. Althusser is extolled for being both a philosopher and a communist, without subordinating the one to the other. W. Howard"
