Written in 1970 by a prominent Marxist philosopher and student of
Georg Lukacs, this book argues that alienation is the central idea
in all of Karl Marx's work. To distinguish Marx's original concept
from its use by other writers over the years, the topic is
approached in three different ways. First, the origin of the idea
of alienation is discussed along with an analysis of the way Marx
structured it into a theory. Then alienation is explored beyond its
political aspect, as it has been used in economics, ontology, moral
philosophy, and aesthetics. The contemporary usefulness of the term
is covered in the last section of the book, which concludes that
current debates about the individual in society and the role of
education can be fruitfully discussed in terms of alienation.
