description Philosopher Gérard Granel (1930-2000) has developed a ’ontophenomenological’ interpretation of Marx in which he offers a highly original elucidation of the origin of capitalism. Our article proposes to rebuild this reading which is very helpful for the analysis of this mode of production, but which remains virtually unknown in the field of the history of thought and economic philosophy. The thesis Gérard Granel develops is that, from a ontological perspective, the origin of capitalism comes from a reciprocal wrap between, on one hand, the infinity of Technique understood as perversion of Work and, on the other hand, the infinity of Capital understood as perversion of wealth. This ontological perspective helps to understand radically the diagnosis of Marx about capitalism: a deadly disease affecting the social-historical worlds in which it takes place and which, as a predator, it feeds without internal limit.
