After giving a fascinating account of how the Christian dogmas took shape that became the theological presuppositions of Christian writers and polemicists combating a rival religion, Islam, the author focuses on the polemical views against Islam in the Orient and the West. The writeer has placed the whole discussion in a wider cultural and political context.

From the critique of the views of Feuerbach regarding religious alienation and Hegel's philosophy of the state and civil society for political alienation, Marx comes to formulate a socio-economic-oriented theory of alienation in concrete historical terms in the Paris Manuscripts of 1844. The old concept of alienation is given new meanings and content by Marx. Dr Khan's analysis aims at noting the progressive transformation of Marx's ideas regarding alienation up till 1844. All the theoretical shifts are minutely observed, compared and contrasted in the writings under research. He cogently argues that the basic impulse underlying Marx's works from the beginning to the end is humanistic, the doctrine of alienation being essential in the whole corpus of his works. This book makes a significant contribution to understanding a central and continuing problem of modern man and his world through the perspective of Marx, the great advocate and philosopher of human fulfilment and freedom.
