Marx's Theory of Alienation is a 1970 book about Karl Marx by philosopher István Mészáros. The work has received a mixture of praise and criticism from scholars.
Scholarly reception
Political scientist David McLellan writes that Marx's Theory of Alienation provides a good account of the continuity in Marx's thought, although he also finds it to be obscurely written and awkwardly constructed.[1]
The work has been criticized by Norman Geras in Marx and Human Nature: Refutation of a Legend (1983). Geras finds Mészáros's work to be one example of the way in which Marxists have illogically denied that there is such a thing as human nature even while engaging in analysis of Marx that depends on the concept of a human nature.[2]
