The interpretation of the Marx's axiology by Wataru Hiromatsu has been generally understood that it rejected the value concept of substance, and it reconstructed the value concept of relations. Undoubtedly, Hiromatsu emphasized that the substance concept of Marx is nothing but the knot of relations and a result of equivalence in exchange. However, like Rubin, Hiromatsu did not discuss Social Relations Theory of Value thoroughly, either. When Hiromatsu emphasized "the priority of relations", he did not devalue substantiality as semblance. In his view, in each dimension, substantial bases are always together with relations. The core of the method of Hiromatsu's Theory of Reification can be found in the methodological circumspection reducing the substantial base over again to its elements for relations while clarifying the substantial base of relations. However, we can say that a dark corner formed inherently and simultaneously just in the process that he developed his own methodology. Hiromatsu captured the substance comprehensively in the mesh of higher-dimensional relations. However, by making the substantial base clear, these relations were collected later in a kind of logical certainty. Hence, there was no contingency in which these relations could be others, and the aspect of the substance in creating and changing relations, not the substance collected in relations, was neglected. In other words, the value concept, introduced as "the expanse of the space" "the deep structure" which differed from money, was discovered by Hiromatsu transcendentally as the condition for exchange. However, he did not investigate it further while suggesting the historic condition for it. In addition, the fetish before relations that provokes the formation of relations was not taken into consideration in Hiromatsu's Theory of Reification. Speaking straightforwardly, the moments of the "perpendicularity" (the upside) and "heteronomy" (the outside) are weak in Hiromatsu's Theory of Reification. This weakness corresponds to the lack of "asymmetry" in his interpretation of the value form. In this article, in Chapter 1, I confirm the methodological significance of Hiromatsu's "The Philosophy of The Capital" by following his argument. Speaking specifically, at first, Hiromatsu raised the problem of the value form in positing (setzen) the condition for exchange rather than in money generation theory. Secondly he clarified the special character of value, overcoming the opposition between realism and nominalism. Thirdly he relativized historically the value concept which is treated as condition. In Chapter 2, basing on the reconstruction of the commodity theory conducted by Hiromatsu, I describe the true character of the value concept, the value form, and the exchange process. Last, in Chapter 3, I elucidate "perpendicularity" and "heteronomy" concretely which are lacking in Hiromatsu's Theory of Reification, by interpreting value space historically as power space or in other words space between nations.
