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 considered Marx's Theory of Alienation a good account of the continuity in Marx's thought, although he also found it to be obscurely written and awkwardly constructed.
Norman Geras criticized Marx's Theory of Alienation in Marx and Human Nature: Refutation of a Legend (1983). Geras found Mészáros' 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.
