The Theory of Alienation: Marx's Debt to Hegel
Dunayevskaya, Raya
http://www.connexions.org/CxArchive/MIA/dunayevskaya/works/articles/alienation.htmhttp://www.marxists.org/archive/dunayevskaya/works/articles/alienation.htm Year Published: 1965 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX10628 One hundred years before Hiroshima, Marx wrote, "To have one basis for science and other for life is a priori, a lie." We have lived this lie for so long that the fate of civilization, not merely rhetorically, but literally, is within orbit of a nuclear ICBM. Since the very survival of mankind hangs in the balance between the East's and the West's nuclear terror, we must, this time, under the penalty of death, unite theory and practice in the struggle for freedom, thereby abolishing the division between philosophy and reality and giving ear to the urgency of "realizing" philosophy, i.e., of making freedom a reality.
