My article aims to problematize the idea of a break between Marx and anthropologism, as proposed by Michael Heinrich in his important text Die Wissenschaft vom Wert. I will deal with Heinrich’s argument that Marx, from 1845 onward, developed a new non-anthropological and non-essentialist conception. Instead, I will tentatively suggest that while Marx’s position is non-essentialist, it remains ‘anthropological’ in a certain sense.
