Louis Althusser

Louis Pierre Althusser (matamshi ya Kifaransa kwa IPA: altyˈsɛʁ; 16 Oktoba 1918 – 22 Oktoba 1990) alikuwa ni mwanafalsafa wa itikadi za Kisoshalisti za Karl Marx kutoka nchi ya Ufaransa. Alizaliwa nchini Algeria na kusoma katika chuo cha École Normale Supérieure kilichopo katika jiji la Paris lililopo nchini Ufaransa, ambapo hatimaye alikuwa Mwanafilosofia. Althusser alikuwa ni mwanachama wa muda mrefu wa chama cha French Communist Party, ingawa wakati mwingine alikuwa akipingana sana na mfumo wa kikomunisti wa nchini Urafansa. Hoja zake kuu zilikuwa zikijengwa katika misingi ya kuhofia nadharia na misingi ya mfumo wa Marxist. Hizi zikiwa ni pamoja na kuhofia kutokea kwa mgawanyiko katika vyama vya siasa vya kikomunisti vya Ulaya.

Maisha ya Althusser yamekuwa yakihusishwa na matukio ya kusikitisha ikiwa ni pamoja na kupatwa na matatizo ya akili, ambapo katika moja ya milipuko ya ugonjwa huo, Althusser alimuua mke wake kwa kumyonga.
