How did Althusser reinterpret Marx's theories?
My reinterpretation of Marx involved a significant epistemological break. I argued that Marx's mature work, particularly after the *Theses on Feuerbach*, constituted a scientific revolution, moving away from Hegelian idealism and Feuerbachian humanism. I emphasized the primacy of economic structures and the material conditions of existence as the ultimate determinants of history, rather than individual consciousness or will. My approach focused on the underlying scientific principles of historical materialism.
