Hint:

Marxian alienation focuses on the workplace: alienated from the *thing* made, the *act* of making it, *others*, and *oneself*.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Karl Marx’s theory of alienation (Entfremdung) analyzes how capitalism estranges workers from their work, product, fellows, and human essence.

Step 1: Marx identified key forms: alienation from the product of labor (D), the act of production (E), and the human species-essence or self (C).

Step 2: These are foundational elements of the theory, confirming they *do* fall under the Marxian analysis of labor.

Step 3: Marxian theory focuses on industrial production; "Alienation from religious acts" (A) and "Alienation from Cosmos" (B) are not part of his structural theory.

Step 4:

Step 5: Since the question asks for what *does not* fall under the theory, A and B are the correct selections.

Step 6: A and B are the correct exclusions from the Marxian framework. $$\boxed{\text{(3) A, B Only}}$$
