Reviews
“Agon Hamza’s book can only be described as an explosive mixture of politics and sexuality, of philosophy and art, of Marxism and Christianity. It reshuffles the cards so that nothing remains the same. The common thread of Christianity renders visible a new Althusser and a new Pasolini. I am grateful to live in a time when such books are written. They prove that thinking is not yet dead.” (Slavoj Žižek, International Director, Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities)
“As with Marxism generally, so too with Louis Althusser specifically: During roughly the past half-century, both ended up falling into undeserved disrepute and obscurity. However, amidst today's desperately needed reactivations of what Alain Badiou calls 'the idea of communism,' Althusser's concepts and problems must be revisited and put back to work. This is exactly what Agon Hamza delivers. Hamza's stellar intervention produces both a surprising historical reappraisal of Althusser as a Christian-Hegelian emancipatory thinker as well as a neo-Althusserianism addressing the most pressing socio-political challenges of the contemporary age.” (Adrian Johnston, Professor of Philosophy, University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, USA)
