Essays in Self-criticism (French: Eléments d'autocritique) is one of the chief works of Louis Althusser, first published in 1974.[1] An English translation by Grahame Lock was published in 1976.[2]
Summary
Althusser re-evaluates his past works, especially For Marx (1965) and Reading Capital (1965), criticizing them for largely ignoring the class struggle. He accordingly redefined philosophy, from being a "theory of theoretical practice" to being "the class struggle in theory."[3]
