Sommario/riassunto

While the explicit Althusserian engagement with Marx’s Capital remained largely limited to Reading Capital , after 1968, Nick Nesbitt argues, this theoretical intervention remained insistent, adopting the form of a general theory of materialist dialectic. The book thus analyzes the Althusserianist theory of a materialist dialectic across diverse sites including Althusser’s unpublished archive, Macherey’s exposition of Spinoza’s Ethics , and Badiou’s Logics of Worlds , while simultaneously bringing this fully-developed theory of materialist dialectic to bear anew on the reading of Capital itself, to show that



Spinoza's influence on Marx is far greater--and that of Hegel increasingly diminishing--than has been previously thought.
