Alienation is manifested as the enslavement and control of the creation of subject onto the subject, the creation as such restrains the free will of the subject. Alienation urges man to reflect upon the fundamental reason or source that causes alienation when alienation presents itself as a general social phenomenon in every social field. It's imperative to anatomize the source of alienation, social and biological reasons of alienation. The research of alienation source is highly significant because it allows us to see through the social and historic conditions on which alienation exists, and it helps us understand the influence of human practice on alienation. Finally, it promises the highest essence of man as human being, that is, the free and overall development of human.

Alienation urges man to reflect upon the fundamental reason or source that causes alienation when alienation presents itself as a general social phenomenon in every social field. It's imperative to anatomize the source of alienation, social and biological reasons of alienation. The research of alienation source is highly significant because it allows us to see through the social and historic conditions on which alienation exists, and it helps us understand the influence of human practice on alienation.
