alienation

again, an intimate contact with Carl Marx.

237

Ludwig Feuerbach, claimed that man is ‘alienated from himself’ because he created a God in his own image, thus projecting the

best part of his spirit outside himself and adoring it as though it were a superior being.

By putting an end to this ‘alienation’, man would reconstruct the synthesis of his own being.

Marx modified and enlarged the concept of alienation.

Not only are religion and abstract philosophies an alienation, but there is also a politicaL social, and economic alienation.
