Question

A book titled for this thinker borrows a Freudian term for multiple lines of causation in its chapter “Contradiction and Overdetermination.” Three “myths” associated with this thinker are critiqued in a book whose title riffs on one of this thinker’s sayings, written by Raymond Aron. An author who posited (10[1])an “epistemological break” in this thinker’s ideas (10[1])co-wrote a book on one of this thinker’s works (10[1])with, among others, (-5[1])Jacques Rancière (“rons-YAIR”) and Étienne Balibar. (10[1])A book partly titled for this thinker by Jacques Derrida coined the term “hauntology.” (10[1]-5[1])A (10[1])“structural” (10[1])school (10[1])named for this thinker was (10[1])led by Louis Althusser (10[1])(“all-too-SAIR”), who borrowed (10[1])this thinker’s ideas of the base and superstructure and the relations (10[1])of (10[1]-5[1])production. For 10 points, (10[1])name this author of The Eighteenth Brumaire (10[1])of Louis Napoleon and Das Kapital. ■END■ (10[5])

ANSWER: Karl Marx [or Karl Heinrich Marx] (The book in the first sentence is Althusser’s For Marx. Raymond Aron’s book is The Opium of the Intellectuals, and Jacques Derrida’s book is Specters of Marx.)
