In fact, Wagner’s problematic is nothing but the problematic of Philosophical Anthropology, i.e. the Feuerbachian-humanist problematic of the early Marx. The characteristic features of this problematic can be schematically enumerated as follows:

(i) History is a process with the subject ‘Man’.

(ii) The subject ‘Man’, his species-being in the terminology of Feuerbach and the early Marx, is endowed with certain attributes, e.g. he consumes, produces, creates, etc. These attributes, alternatively referred to as the predicates of the subject, constitute the essence of Man. The relation of the subject to its essence can vary within the problematic of Philosophical Anthropology between idealism of the essence and empiricism of the subject on the one hand, and idealism of the subject and empiricism of the essence on the other.

(iii) The banal notion of alienation signifies the relation between the subject, the essence and the alien object.
