This major voice in French philosophy presents a classic study of how particular political and cultural ideas come to dominate society. Spanning the years 1964 to 1973, On Ideology contains the seminal text, âIdeology and Ideological State Apparatusâ (1970), which revolutionized the concept of subject formation. In âReply to John Lewisâ (1972â73), Althusser addressed the criticisms of the English Marxist toward On Marx and Reading Capital. Also included are âFreud and Lacanâ (1964) and âA Letter on Art in Reply to AndrĂ© Daspreâ (1966).
