Louis Althusser Quotes

There Exists [a] Word In German, Geschichte, Which Designates Not Accomplished History, But History In The Present, Doubtless Determined In Large Part, Yet Only In Part, By The Already Accomplished Past; For A History Which Is Present, Which Is Living, Is Also Open To A Future That Is Uncertain, Unforeseeable, Not Yet Accomplished, And Therefore Aleatory. Living History Obeys Only A Constant (not A Law): The Constant Of Class Struggle. Marx Did Not Use The Term 'constant', Which I Have Taken From Levi-Strauss, But An Expression Of Genius: 'tendential Law', Capable Of Inflecting (but Not Contradicting) The Primary Tendential Law, Which Means That A Tendency Does Not Possess The Form Or Figure Of Linear Law, But That It Can Bifurcate Under The Impact Of An Encounter With Another Tendency, And So On Ad Infinitum. At Each Intersection The Tendency Can Take A Path That Is Unforeseeable Because It Is Aleatory.
