Nasir Khan:

Development of the Concept and Theory of Alienation in Marx's Writings (1995)

 

In this book the question of human alienation comes under a profound scrutiny. It explains how starting from a critique of the views of Feuerbach regarding religious alienation and Hegel's philosophy of the state and civil society for political alienation, Marx comes to formulate a socio-economic theory of alienation in the Paris Manuscripts of 1844. The old concept of alienation is given new meanings and content in Marx.

 

 Dr Nasir Khan's analysis aims at noting the progressive transformation of Marx's ideas regarding alienation up till 1844. All the theoretical shifts are minutely observed, compared and contrasted in the writings under research. He cogently argues that the basic impulse underlying Marx's works from the beginning to the end is humanistic, the doctrine of alienation being essential in the corpus of his writings. 

 

This book makes a significant contribution to understand a central and continuing problem of modern man and his world through the perspective of Marx, the great advocate and philosopher of human fulfilment and freedom.





This research book  first published in 1995 has been available in Europe and America at a price of US$45.00.  But with a view to stimulate interest in Marxist philosophy among students of philosophy in general and specialists in Marxist philosophy in particular, I have decided to put the book on the web for free downloading.
