The article makes an approach to the controversy about teleology (theory of ends) in the scientific and philosophical work of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Equidistant from the Marxist interpretations of the denial of a teleology in the authors as the affirmation of a teleology under the postulates of Liberal philosophy, the notion of an open theory of the ends of history and the end of history in the authors is defended. First, the problem of the theological controversy, its contours and surroundings of modernity and its finiteness, is introduced. Second, the arguments of the interpreters of the closed ending and their reading of the classic works are exposed. Third, it argues against them defending the open ending and its hermeneutic sense. Fourth and last, is carried out a reflection about ontological, epistemological, methodological and political conclusions on the meaning of the teleologism in Marx and Engels and the implications of this controversy in the philosophy of social sciences and philosophy of history.
