ESTRANGEMENT OF LABOUR AND DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATION IN USA IN THE 19TH CENTURY IN THE CONTEXT OF MARXIAN AND WEBERIAN CONCEPTIONS // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2013. Issue 9 (137). P. 297-303

In this article we can see the application of Marxian and Weberian conceptions of estrangement for the description of the conditions of work and education in the USA in the 19th century. If in the Marxian conception the estrangement in capitalistic society increases permanently, then in Weberian conception the estrangement weakens by the increase of qualification and by the reformation labour ethics of “beruf”. However in case of the USA we can see what the estrangement was not weakened owing to reformation labour ethics of “beruf”, but owing to diversification of possibilities. The problem of estrangement is a problem of development of capitalism but it needs its own methodology.
