The Alienation Of Modern Man

The Alienation of Modern Man: An Interpretation Based on Marx and Tonnies by Fritz Pappenheim is a book that explores the concept of alienation in modern society. The author draws on the theories of Karl Marx and Ferdinand Tonnies to analyze how modern society has become increasingly disconnected from nature, community, and even from one's own sense of self.Pappenheim begins by examining the historical roots of alienation, tracing it back to the rise of industrial capitalism and the emergence of a new class of wage laborers who were separated from the means of production. He then delves into the philosophical and psychological dimensions of alienation, exploring how it affects our relationships with others and with ourselves.Drawing on the work of Marx and Tonnies, Pappenheim argues that the root cause of alienation is the fragmentation of society into isolated individuals who are no longer connected by shared values, traditions, or a sense of belonging. He suggests that the only way to overcome alienation is to re-establish these connections and create a more integrated and holistic society.Overall, The Alienation of Modern Man is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of one of the most pressing issues facing modern society. It offers a compelling argument for why we need to rethink our approach to social organization and work towards creating a more connected and meaningful existence for all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
