The alienation of humankind in the fundamental sense of the term means the loss of control its embodiment in an alien force which confronts the individuals as a hostile and potentially destructive power. When Marx analysed alienation in his Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 he indicated four principal aspects of it the alienation of human beings from (1) nature (2) their own productive activity (3) their species being as members of the human species and (4) each other. He forcefully underlined that all this is not some fatality of nature as indeed the structural antagonisms of capital are characteristically misrepresented so as to leave them in their place but a form of self alienation. In other words not the deed of an all powerful outside agency natural or metaphysical but the outcome of a determinate type of historical development which can be positively altered by a conscious intervention in the historical process in order to transcend labour's self alienation. 356 pp. Seller Inventory # 62334
