Abstract


A Comment on Alienation, Reification and Commodity Fetishism: The Mind-Action Relation in Alfred Sohn-Rethel's Thought

This article aims to discuss the views of the French-German Marxist philosopher and economist Alfred Sohn-Rethel, who is especially known for his studies on epistemology, on mind-action relation. Parallel to the thoughts of Karl Marx and Georg Lukács, Sohn-Rethel criticizes the new social order imposed by the capitalist system, based on the concepts of alienation, reification and commodity fetishism. Sohn-Rethel sees the disintegration and rupture in the mind-action relation caused by the new social order in question as the source of evil. According to Sohn-Rethel, the person who is alienated and caught in the commodity fetishism moves away from the existing value judgments and becomes the subject of evil.
