The first English translation of Macherey's philosophical work. Best known for his work in literary criticism, Pierre Macherey has, over the past two decades, producted a series of original philosophical works. This first collection of his philosophical writings to be published in English discloses the full range of Macherey's interventions, testifying to his signal status as one of France's leading philosophers. In a Materialst Way ranges over Macherey's writings on philosophy and theory, critiques of the work of major figures in contemporary French thought such as Lacan, Foucoult and Canguilhem, and analyses of the work of Spinoza. It reveals to English-speaking audiences what has long been common knowlege in France: that Pierre Macherey is among the most fertile, imaginative and subtle of contemporary philosophers.
Pierre Macherey is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Lille III. His previous books in English are A Theory of Literary Production and The Object of Literature. Warren Montag is Associate Professor of English at Occidental Collge and author of The Unthinkable Swift (Verso).

...from where does this intellectual activity come? What is its origin? By means of this question we remain within the perspective already indicated: a mythic genesis of thought which can be deepened by pushing back its limits. It is not enough to notice that the negative is at work in this genesis; we must know from where it derives its miraculous power.
The solution to this problem that Hyppolite discovers in Freud's text is quite surprising: it consist in saying that negativity is already inscribed in the primary situation that precedes intellectual development, and is determined, therefore, at the level of affectivity:
"The primal form of relation known psychologically as the affective is itself situated within the distinctive field of the human situation, and if that engenders int... (查看原文)
