Understanding the philosophical category of alienation in the educational process

The main content of the article is an analysis of the philosophical category of alienation as applied to the process of cognition, in contrast to the current interpretation of this phenomenon in a sociological format. The author substantiates the idea that the dialectic of alienation and its removal, as a dissection and objectification, constitute the principle of thinking. This problem has been little studied and requires further research. The work has an interdisciplinary character, written at the intersection of pedagogy and philosophy.
