Abstract
In his book Althusser and His Contemporaries. Philosophyʼs Perpetual War (2013) Warren Montag proposed an interpretation of Louis Althusserʼs work through engagements with Althusserʼs own contemporaries but above all through his engagement with Baruch Spinoza. This review essay is an attempt to both reconstruct and evaluate this attempt by showing heretical nature of Althusserʼs and Spinozaʼs materialism.References
