The Importance of Conscious Thoughts

The ability to become conscious of our own life activity is what makes us different from all other animals on Earth. We produce even when we are free from immediate physical need, Marx says. This productive activity upon the objective world through which we prove ourselves to be a species being. But where does alienation come in here? Well Marx makes it very clear. When we are torn away from the things we create,  we are separated from our own nature as freely and spontaneously creative creatures.
