In the first two essays of this book, Louis Althusser analyses the work of two of the greatest thinkers of the Enlightenment Montesquieu and Rousseau. He shows that although they made considerable advances towards establishing a science of politics, particularly in comparison with the theorists of natural law, they nevertheless remained the victims of the ideologies of their day and class. Montesquieu accepted as given the political notions current in French absolutism; Rousseau attempted to impose by moral conversion an already outdated mode of production. The third essay examines Marxs relationship to Hegel and elaborates on the discussions of this theme in Althussers earlier books, For Marx and Lenin and Philosophy. Althusser argues that Marx was able to establish a theory of historical materialism and the possibility of a Marxist philosophy of dialectical materialism not simply by turning his back on Hegel, but by extracting and converting certain categories from Hegels Logic and applying them to English political economy and French socialist political theory.

I enjoyed the insights from Montesquieu and Rousseau, but Marx's sections were tougher to get through. The book is packed with great thoughts, although some parts felt a bit overwhelming. If you're into philosophy, I'd say it's worth the read, but be prepared to take your time with it.

Great Reference for Political Studies
As a student of political science, I found this book invaluable. The different perspectives on governance and society are crucial for anyone wanting to dive deeper into political thought. The only downside was the print quality; some pages were a bit flimsy, but the content definitely makes up for it!
