INTRODUCTION We exist as a human being. As a human being we are different from animals. Since we are more rational‚ can ponder upon our past and manipulate our present and future. But is it sufficient to be human? To have a “self” is one of the most important elements of realizing human existence. This self has been called differently by different traditions according to the way they interpret it to be. For instance‚ in Indian philosophy it is taken as atman‚ and most of them make distinction

For a large number of years rationalists have posed the question who am I? In this paper we will take a gander at the two most persuasive thinkers of the seventeenth century.

Marx advocates that the only way alienation can be alleviated is through the destruction of the current
