Abstract

The difficulties related to the reading and comprehension of Karl Marx’s Capital are considered by Louis Althusser in its preface to the French edition of the book. The goal of this article is to investigate the difficulties on its reading, starting by the analysis of Althusser’s recommendation, in which on one should begin the reading of Capital by skipping the first section. Thereafter, it will be shown how Marx himself approaches the comprehension issues of his work and how it is possible to review the suggestion of the contemporary French philosopher.
