Both editions consist of Althusser’s lecture at the Société française de philosophie ‘Lenin and Philosophy’ (French: Lénine et la Philosophie)[10] as well as of Althusser’s essay ‘Lenin before Hegel’ (French: Lénine devant Hegel) (written in 1968; first published [in French]: 1970[11]).

A third essay within the French edition is Sur la rapport de Marx à Hegel (About the relationship of Marx to Hegel) (written in 1969; first published [in German]: 1970[12]). This essay is not part of the English edition.[13]

Rather the English edition additionally consists of a foreword, written by Althusser himself, and six other works of Althusser, which are not part of the French edition. Among these six works is Althusser’s famous essay ‘Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses’[14].

gollark: Er, not their laptops, their mobile CPUs.
gollark: Intel decided to add tons of cores to their laptops without (allegedly) increasing the TDP, so clocks are bad.
gollark: Well, the most powerful one is the last one, since it appears to have a decent processor and GTX 1660, but obviously other stuff matters.
gollark: It has an actual dedicated GPU, might be better for gaming.
gollark: If you aren't doing heavy gaming, then I think basically anything with a decently sized SSD, good screen (1080p+, IPS), enough RAM, recent i5/R5 and up, and whatever other stuff you want should be okay.
