The Psychoanalysis of Lacan Freud

The main thing to pull out of Altusarian's work is after this Stalinist period where a lot of Marxist philosophy was filtered through you know Stalin but also like just the Soviet regime more broadly and that kind of gave rise to a sort of reductive mechanical and overly deterministic form of Marxism. But Altusarian notably is kind of complexifying expanding and deepening the philosophical and theoretical dimensions of Marxism. He brings in things like psychoanalysis Lacanian and Freudian psychoanalysis and some core concepts in there as well, which then goes on to influence all of these other thinkers who take aspects of his work in different directions.
