Karl Marx on Life - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 502 Leben/Marx/Habermas: Marx lacks the historical index to define the term 'life', which fluctuates between Aristotle and Hegel. Marx speaks abstractly of life and life possibilities; he does not have the concept of rationalising the lifeworld. (See Rationalization/Weber, Rationalization/Habermas). Therefore, his concept of alienation remains ambiguous. See Alienation/Marx._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
