Marx's theory of alienation has to do with the separation of things that logically belong together. According to Marx, alienation is a universal result of capitalism. Marx's theory of alienation is based on the observation that, within the capitalist mode of production, workers constantly lose determination of their lives and destiny by being deprived of the right to consider themselves stewards of their own actions.
