Summary/Abstract: The concept of labour occupies the central place on which Marx grounds his philosophy. Marx’s understanding of division of labour is the basis of his criticism of capitalist system. Differentiating the positive from negative aspect of the division of labour, Marx emphasizes importance of relation between division of labour and private property as the central problem of bourgeois epoch. The commodity character of production is the basic cause of human alienation in capitalism. Liberation of the process of labour from the dictates of capital arises as a necessary condition of human liberation.
