in: Felix Geyer, David Schweitzer (eds), Theories of alienation, Berlin, Springer, 1976Abstract
Although there is a very large literature concerning Marx's theory of alienation, there is unfortunately little agreement about precisely what the theory is, let alone how best to use it in empirical research. The purpose of the present paper is to try and identify the major issues concerning the theory, and, through a critical examination of existing research, to suggest appropriate directions for future research.
