Abstract

The concept of "critique" of Marx will be analyzed in relation to the critique of Political Economy and to the concept of "crisis", according to the Capital, Book III. It will be necessary therefore to define the meaning of "categorical presentation" in Marx on the grounds of real value metamorphosis in capitalism, and how it is then linked to mental "representations" of social agents and of economists.
