Abstract

As an important figure in Western Marxism, Louis Althusser's work "Sur la reproduction" theoretically reconstructs the Marxist theory of the state from the concept of reproduction, and Marx's theory of the state has always been a key issue in the study of Marxism. This paper analyzes the concept of "reproduction" as a starting point for analyzing Althusser's interpretation of Marx's theory of social formations and describes the theory of the state he constructed on this basis. Althusser's complete and rich theory of the state is an important development of the Marxist theory of the state.
