Résumé anglais Rethinking the “Epistemological Break” : Reading Marx with and against Althusser
The article critically reconsiders Althusser's thesis that there is an “epistemological break” in the work of Marx taking place in 1845/46. It is argued that there can indeed be found an important break in Marx at this time, but that it cannot be conceptualised as an “epistemological” passage from ideology to science. Instead, this break should be considered as a purely philosophical one, as a transition from a young-Hegelian to a realist social philosophy. The first part of the article offers a critical re-reading of the young Marx. The second part analyses the entanglements of social philosophy, the philosophy of history and social science haunting Marx after 1845/46. The intention is not to dismiss out of hand Althusser's interpretation of Marx's work. The aim is rather to clarify it from the perspective of current debates within the philosophy of science, ethics and social theory.
