Étienne Balibar

Étienne Balibar ( born April 23, 1942 in Avallon ) is a French philosopher and well-known Marxist. The long-standing member of the Communist Party (PCF ) was a student and close associate of Louis Althusser and taught at the University of Paris- X ( Nanterre ).

He has developed three levels of general:

• The real, globalization: many are increasingly dependent on the world market
• The fiction, he speaks of church and state, as imaginary communities. It regulates the ideological fiction
• That of the ideal, with a demand for Equaliberty, as a possible moment of the policy, which can never be completely negated or satisfied.
