The Concept of Alienation: Hegelian Themes in Modern Social Thought

Sean Sayers

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

The concept of alienation is one of the most important and fruitful legacies of Hegel’s social philosophy. It is strange therefore that Hegel’s own account is widely rejected, not least by writers in those traditions which have taken up and developed the concept in the most influential ways: Marxism and existentialism. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
