SOME CONCEPTIONS OF OWNERSHIP AS A SOURCE AND AN ASPECT OF ALIENATION

Summary/Abstract: The author in the present article elaborates in a summary way on some religious and socio-philosophical conceptions related to ownership as a source and an aspect of alienation of society. In doing that, he treats particularly the conceptions of Hegel and Marx, including their.basic views concerning the role of labour. According to Hegel, labour is a specific form of alienation of the self-reliance in relation to external objects, but it is at the same time a tool for transforming and cultivating the material nature and for »liberating the spirit out of it«. As a specific phase in the movement of law, and at the same time of the movement of the »objective spirit«, the ownership is the »external sphere« of will and freedom of man, taking external shape in the objects of labour. According to Marx, labour is a natural component part of the »generic character« of man and a connection with the external nature. Along these lines, in an »inalienated«, »organic« and authentic human society, as is the case with the primeval clan-type communism or with the future presumed communist society, the ownership is a spontaneous connection between man and the objects of external nature and a continuation of man’s personality. However, in class societies, where labour is separated from ownership over the means of production, ownership is an expression of alienation of society. This is particularly true for private property as the ownership over the goods in the capitalist society, where alienation reaches its peak and where circulation of commodities creates a semblance of necessary relations which do not depend on people's volition. This alienation shall be abolished by the proletariat as a basic antithesis of the capitalist class, while creating a classless communist society, which is going to be without private property and without state.
