“The Concept in Crisis shows and tells us why we need Althusser here and now, and it will be a cornerstone for anyone seeking to bring political and philosophical theory into the liberal arts and sciences. Conceived with vision, realized with elegance, and featuring essays whose philosophical and political force astound and dazzle, the publication of The Concept in Crisis is an event of the first order and consequence.” — Tom Conley, author of, An Errant Eye: Poetry and Topography in Early Modern France

"Reading Capital remains one of the most remarkable studies of Marx ever written, and this excellent collection—from Alain Badiou's magisterial opener to Fernanda Navarra's closing evocation of the Zapatistas—helps explain why this monument of 'high structuralism' generated such excitement when it was published in the mid-1960s, and why its revolutionary inflection retains so much of its critical appeal to this day." — Peter Hallward, Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Kingston University
