Poverty of theory Book by E. P. Thompson (Farsi)

Açıklama

"Poverty of Theory" by E.P. Thompson is a critical examination of Louis Althusser's influential Marxist theories. In this work, Thompson challenges Althusser's interpretation of Marxism, particularly his concept of "structural Marxism" and his emphasis on the primacy of economic structures in shaping historical development. Thompson argues that Althusser's approach neglects the agency of individuals and social movements in driving historical change, reducing Marxism to a deterministic and dogmatic ideology. Thompson's critique of Althusser extends beyond theoretical disagreements to encompass broader political and intellectual concerns. He accuses Althusser and his followers of elitism, sectarianism, and detachment from the real struggles of working-class people.
