Features: Before becoming a "Marxist," Louis Althusser went through a very important period of intellectual development. Many scholars in the international academic community refer to this stage as the "Early Althusser Period." A thorough understanding of Althusser's thought during this stage will not only help us improve our academic level in the study of Althusser's early thought but also provide insights into a deeper comprehension of his philosophical ideas in the middle and later periods. After World War II, Althusser first appeared as a Catholic, and through his study of Hegel's philosophical works, his thought underwent continuous development. It was precisely during this research process that Althusser's attitude toward Marxist philosophy shifted, gradually transforming him into a "Marxist." This book is a collection of Althusser's essays, with its main content reflecting the development of his early thought. In chronological order, the collection clearly demonstrates Althusser's gradual transformation from a member of the "Catholic Action" to a "Marxist." It is believed that the publication of this book will have a positive impact on the study of Althusser in the domestic academic community.
