Abstract

FORERO PINEDA, Fernando. What is Alienation? Perspectives for the Actualization of a Concept of Critical Social Thinking. Prax. filos. [online]. 2021, n.52, pp.203-224.  Epub Apr 13, 2021. ISSN 0120-4688.  https://doi.org/10.25100/pfilosofica.v0i52.10713.

This article returns to the classic and complex concept of alienation and aims to contribute to its elaboration for today's social philosophy. The idea is to articulate the approaches to alienation developed by Rahel Jaeggi and Axel Honneth, based on a philosopher presumably alien to critical theory, namely Martin Heidegger, and to disassociate ourselves from these authors as we develop the concept. We propose to offer a structural analysis of the concept that will allow us to identify certain basic features that will later serve to elaborate a diagnosis of social pathologies in the contemporary world.

Keywords : Alienation; Reification; Social Philosophy; Lifestyles; Capitalism.
