Religion has always been an object of philosophical analysis and a platform for political practice. Philosophical thinking is unimaginable without its relation to religion, whether it negates or affirms the latter. Indeed, religion serves as a condition for philosophy.
Althusser and Theology intends not so much to fill a gap in Althusser scholarship as to contribute to the contemporary radical left.
Agon Hamza is a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the Postgraduate School ZRC SAZU in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He serves as the co-editor-in-chief of the international philosophical journal Crisis and Critique. His latest publications are Repeating iek (2015), a co-authored book with Slavoj iek, entitled From Myth to Symptom: The Case of Kosovo (2013) and Althusser and Pasolini: Philosophy, Marxism and Film (2016).
