Abstract

In the article “The only materialist tradition” Althusser (2,4,5) presents some fundamentals of his materiality of ideology theory referenced, explicitly, in Pascal. 1) the pro-to-counter and truth material condition (which can take it for contrary without contradiction); 2) the intuition [sic] of vacuum as a philosophical matter (postulate that is able to deny this substrate to the matter). It characterizes the ideological production as a human work, that is able to incorporate the class contradictions and to impregnate directly the ideological apparatus, and postulates the necessity of formulating a dogmatic doctrine, in order to discuss it in a dogmatic field. It is presented here one of the central tools of such theory: the apparatus of the body – which relies on Pascal too – a mean of expressing the materiality of ideology, effectively.
