Althusser, "subject" Thought And Its Impact On The Post-modern Philosophy

There are arguments on Althusser's philosophy. In virtue of the different points of view of understanding and comprehension, the different varieties of idealistic essence, systematic structure and methodological attitude of philosophy,various genres were engendered after his death. Meanwhile, there is an interesting aspect on the interrelation between his thoughts and the post-modern ideaistic school with representatives as Foucault and Derrida. It is of great significance to further understanding and comprehending the Althusser's philosophy and the post-modern philosophy, while making sense of the structure and method of the Althusser's philosophy, meanwhile, making sense of the relationship between Althusser's philosophy and the post-modern philosophy in the modern philosophy, especially under the view of history of the western Marxist philosophy. This thesis, starting with the basic surface, preliminarily attempted to the task mentioned above. Putting forward to the"non-subject"thought is the core of the Marxist thought with the structure of Althusser, and also the theoretical origin and logistic starting point of his philosophy. Althusser, starting with the concept of"non-subject", run on all main concepts in his philosophy to form an organic entirety, in order to construct his own philosophical system. At the same time, the"non-subject"thought and structural method, as the common places between Althusser and Foucault, Derrida's thoughts, made these three persons'philosophy some isostructure. This thesis hereby tried to reveal that Althusser's concepts and methods were, in a certain extent, transferred to Foucault and Derrida, and were absorbed and used for reference. In succession, the thesis pointed out that Althusser, depending on the establishment of Marx's History Science, in other words, depending on"non-subject"thought and structural method, endowed the Marxism with post-modern criticism. This thesis also discussed the limitation of the post-modern thoughts in preliminary and brief.
