This review is from: Philosophy of the Encounter: Later Writings, 1978-1987 (Paperback)
The philosophy of the encounter contains a number of posthumously published papers from the late Althusser. Aside from a lengthy introduction and an interview at the end, the primary texts in this volume are Marx in his Limits, and The Underground Current of the Materialism of the Encounter. The latter is a fascinating though problematic attempt to investigate the contingent atomism of Epicurus and Lucretius, which Althusser exposes in order to highlight certain problems he sees in Marxist thought. The shift to pure contingency is provocative, though not entirely successful. Althusser is better able to explain this cryptic work in final interview. In sum, this is in interesting, albeit scattered development in Althusser's corpus.
