Abstract
Marx’s originality in dualizing the concept of value into the forms and the substance of value. Then,
Kozo Uno’s theoretical intervention on Marx’s dialogue with Aristotle is introduced. The dialogue
is thus converted into a three-cornered talk among three giant theoreticians. Brilliant debates
among Aristotle, Marx and Uno would lead us to reconsider the evolution of the concept of value
and its historical ground. This issue is surely related with the problem of how to understand the
historically specific nature of market economy and capitalist economy. It would also inspire anew
a methodological relationship between historical materialism and the basic theories of Marxian
political economy.
