This article aims to return to the philosophical sources of Marx's thought as a strategy to understand his methodological procedure. This is necessary when what is being investigated is the place occupied in his work by the concept of State. Stating that “there is no theory of the State” in Marx eludes the fundamental dimension of the Critique of Political Economy as a text of political philosophy that deals with a mode of civilization of humanity. The logic that articulates this Criticism comes from idealistic sources: since then, complemented with the extraction of the logic of contractualism, it is possible to clarify a way of understanding the State. In this sense, it is emphasized the understanding of the State as a State-form, derived from the value-form.
