Bøger af Pierre Macherey

The first English-language translation of a classic work of French philosophy

The first of a series of philosophical writings disclosing the full range of Pierre Macherey's interventions. The book covers his writings on philosophy and theory, critiques of the work of major figures in contemporary French thought, and analyses of the work of Spinoza.

Who is more important: the reader, or the writer? Addressing the issue, this book aims to challenge perceived wisdom. It brings some radical ideas to a wide audience, and argues persuasively for a totally practical way of reading. It is suitable for those interested in the development of literary theory.
