This article will not survey the entire literature on alienation, nor is it necessary to

explore the various meanings of the concept from its inception. Rather, my strategy is

to follow the recent debate about the term by examining the works of four contemporary

writers who have worked intensively with this concept and review their

comments. Although these writers are by no means the only ones who have written on

the subject, their work stands out for the clarity with which they describe their differing

positions.

Schacht (1970) provides an extensive survey of alienation from its linguistic origins

to the intellectual tradition that surrounds the term to its uses in the literature of sociology.

Schacht sees operative in alienation the idea of separation, a term that poses less

of a problem for commentators: “Separation” is a very useful term, with many different

applications. No one supposes, however, that the term names a specific

phenomenon, or that the different phenomena to which it is applicable constitute so

many different “modes” or “aspects” or “dimensions” or something called “separation,”

or that they are interrelated in any significant way. It is understood that

“separation” is merely a general relational term, that the different phenomena to which it is applicable have in common at most certain purely formal features, and that they are more often than not quite independent of each other. The term “alienation” would have a similar status. Given its breath of application today, it is incapable of functioning in any other way.
