Before 1845, Marx's thought showed great immaturity, making pre-and post ideas of Marx to show different characteristics. But, Althusser's "epistemological break" that separates pre-and post ideas of Marx into two pieces is metaphysical, one-sided, does not meet the true history of the development of Marxist thought process of development.
