Based on this purpose, the text, this paper focuses on the analysis of Althusser misreading "historical force" thought with above the nature of non-Marxist, clarify the misreading reason, reveals the "historical force" and the real face of Marx's historical materialism, grasp the historical materialism on integrity, defend the scientific nature of Marxism.
