Rauno's initial reply is below my reply to Rauno.
But that seems to box Althusser in a bit too much for me. His dissertation
was on Hegel, no? Seems like a lot of his ideas have Hegelian insights at
their core.
(and wasn't Willis anti-Althusserian - so where does that leave us?).
Goes back to the old saw, "it depends on what you mean by..."
But maybe Christine can provide some clarity here...
Cheers,
greg
