Alienation is defined as “a withdrawing or separation of a person or a person's affections from an object or position of former attachment (Merriam-Webster)”. In common uses of the word, it symbolizes a forced, one-sided separation between a person and something they hold dear, like another person or a value. This definition holds true to the Marxist idea of alienation and alienated labor that is a main topic of “The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844”. Marx uses alienation and alienated
In this essay I intend to analyse the relationship between work and alienation in industrial and post-industrial societies. In particular I will identify the source of this alienation as well as the impact it has on the individual and the society by examining the research of several sociological theorists, including Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber and C. Wright Mills. The Transition Subsequent to the Industrial Revolution, which took place in the United Kingdom in the late 1700s, numerous agrarian

The accomplishments from the French Revolution laid the very framework in which societies was thrust into the modern. Alexis De Tocqueville and Karl Marx were the few theorists at the forefront whose writings embody the spirit of modernity. Tocqueville and Marx had the immaculate ability to grasp history, looking
In his 1844 essay “Estranged Labor”, Karl Marx provides an in-depth analysis of society, specifically economic circumstances, and his unique interpretation of them. Marx offers what can only be considered as a broadminded perspective towards the two types of population in the social order, the workers and the owners, and defends his points well with metaphor and well-supported arguments.

The main source I will be referring to is by Paul Smart, “Mill and Marx: Individual liberty and the roads to freedom” (1991).

According to Marx, these two types of government should be replaced by communism, since it would provide for a more equal and socially just society. Although this statement may seem to be unusual, since we tend to associate communism with Stalin and China, their type of communism is different from the communism that Marx and Engels envisage in their Communist Manifesto.

Karl Marx emphasizes the alienation of the workers in these social environments and the dehumanizing affects it has, which leads to the imprisonment of workers who are forced to rebel against the power that is carried over them. Work place alienation can lead to segregation between workers and their bosses. In the story “Bartleby: The Scrivener,” Melville paints the picture
community. In the mid 19th century, German philosophers, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, established their own theory of socialism. This theory refers to the analysis of capitalistic class relationships between property owners, the worker and production, by using a materialist explanation of historical development and a dialectical interpretation of social transformation. In his work, Estranged Labour, as well as explaining how the concept of alienation affects a certain individual, there is also a predominant
Marx describes the division between the owners of property, and the property-less; the bourgeois and the proletariat (Marx, 70). The workers, proletariat, become alienated with their routine (Marx, 74). This alienation is seen in all aspects of their lives. The routine of working becomes so mundane that the workers are estranged from all human contact. This
