What does Marx mean by alienation? Do you find his account convincing? To begin with I am going to take the definition of alienation from Microsoft’s Encarta (http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary)‚ to give a basic outline of alienation and then I will discuss Marx’s alienation and then later on in the investigation I will see how similar Marx’s application of "alienation" is.
