It was in 2018 when Douglas met Rita, the alien; and this is where this story begins. He learned then that aliens from outer space have their own system of communication, and if you observe them closely, you will be able to decipher their communicative code. Now, the first question to be concerned with is how do you know you have met an alien from outer space? We shall get the answer to this question shortly; but, not now. Please be patient.It looks like a fantasy, but this is all real. Believe me, this is all real. We must let the imagination speak to us because certain truths conceal themselves in the shadows of myths. And tradition also tells us lies where the human being exerts abominable cruelties on others. And it is all about tradition while it harbors lies and falsehoods, yet we let it rule us....No matter how well the mortal man is doing, he always wants trouble. He can have everything, but he still tries to screw it up for everyone else. Men do crazy things like murdering, blaspheming, sodomizing, backbiting; you name it, yet men still prevail and influence.... This may seem like a fantasy of the mind. But can you stretch the feasibility of the mind to apprehend space and time to look out into the far universe? This seems peculiar. But you must put yourself in Douglas' position. Mere farcical, gross absurdity! It would seem to be the case for those who have never been exposed to natural abnormalities. Natural abnormalities! That sounds peculiar...

Earth’s last line of defense against the coming alien invasion is 16-year-old surfer Colt McAlister. But before he can save the world, he has to survive the day. All Colt wants to do is return to his old life . . . where aliens don’t exist . . . where mankind hasn’t been targeted for destruction . . . and where his parents are still alive. Unfortunately life doesn’t work that way. The United States government believes Colt holds the key to our survival, so they’re sending him to the CHAOS Military Academy along with his best friends Oz and Danielle. There they’ll be trained to defend Earth against a swarm of alien shape shifters known as the Thule. But someone is trying to eliminate Colt before he can lead that charge. Shocked to learn about key events in his past and unsure who he can trust, he is alienated and on the run. In a world of high-tech gear, shape-shifting aliens, simulated reality, and hover boards, Colt must step into his true destiny before our world falls into chaos. “Non-stop, action-packed thrills and excitement made it impossible to put down . . . [a] cliffhanger that left me wanting more.” —SciFiChick.com

First published in 1970, original blurb: ‘Alienation’ is the catchword of our time. It has been applied to everything from the new politics to the anti-heroes of today’s films. But what does it mean to say that someone is alienated? Is alienation a state of mind, or a relationship? If modern man is indeed alienated, is it from his work, his government, his society, or himself – or from all of these? Richard Schacht, in this intelligent analysis, gets to the root of these questions. Examining the concept of alienation in the works of Hegel and Marx, he gives a clear account of the origins of the modern usage of the term. Among the many insights to be gained from this analysis is a clear understanding of Hegel’s influence on Marx in this most crucial area. Mr Schacht goes on to discuss the concept of alienation in recent philosophical and sociological literature, particularly in the writings of Erich Fromm. Here he finds a great deal of confusion, which has resulted in a series of almost universally unquestioned misconceptions. This, then, is a book for all of us who use – and mis-use – the term ‘alienation’, and who are interested in the concepts it brings to mind. The arguments of Professor Walter Kaufmann’s introductory essay provide a useful background for Mr Schacht’s analysis. In this essay, Professor Kaufmann states that ‘henceforth nobody should write about alienation without first reading Schacht’s book.’

Consider your love for something you believe valuable, perhaps a friend or your child. Contrast this love with the kind of hate that drug addicts typically have toward their addiction. Some philosophers would call your desire for your friend's or child's wellbeing, an identified-with attitude, and the addict's desire for their drug, an alien attitude. Many use identification and alienation as standards for, among other things, moral responsibility and autonomy, arguing that identifying with an attitude that leads one to act is sufficient (or necessary) for moral responsibility for and autonomy in that act, whereas being alienated from the attitude that leads to action is sufficient (or necessary) for not being morally responsible for nor autonomous in the act. Even non-philosophers seem to use alienation and identification; often we use them as standards for "living our best lives"-our best lives fit with what we really believe and want, that is, attitudes we identify with. The problem is, extant and natural theories of alienation and identification are almost universally recognized as deeply problematic. I argue for new theories of both alienation and identification that, I also argue solve these problems. The first chapter starts with the idea that the concepts of alienation and identification mutually exclude each other. If an attitude is alien, we cannot think it is identified-with, and if an attitude is identified-with, we cannot think it is alien. I ask the question, which relation between alienation and identification most plausibly secures their mutual exclusivity? Beside the answer being interesting, it will ensure that our theories of alienation and identification do not allow for the impossible alien identified-with attitude, and it may help us develop a theory of one from the other-for example, if alienation were merely not identifying with an attitude, then once we have a theory of identification, we immediately have one of alienation. The relation that I argue most plausibly secures their mutual exclusivity is a certain kind of opposition which allows for neutral attitudes, attitudes that we neither identify with nor are alienated from. The next chapter begins by explaining certain deep, apparently intractable problems for extant and natural theories of alienation. Very roughly, the main problems are that none of the views can handle cases in which we manipulate you into alienation-they all imply that alienation can be the result of manipulation-nor can they provide a principled reason why the attitudes they point to as those constituting our alienation are of the right kind-are special enough-to ground our alienation, for example, a rejection of another attitude doesn't seem to have any particularly special features allowing it to constitute our alienation with another attitude. The view I argue for that I also argue solves these problems is roughly, an attitude is alien just when and because the relevant negative attitude toward it makes sense in light of all of our attitudes collectively. The rough argument for this view is that an attitude is alien just when and because our rejection of it reflects our view, and this happens just when and because the rejection makes sense to us. The thesis of the next chapter naturally follows if the first two are right: an attitude is identified-with just and because the relevant pro℗Ơ℗Ơ-attitude toward it makes sense in light of our attitudes collectively. For example, when your, say, endorsement of your desire for your friend or child's wellbeing makes sense in light of your other attitudes collectively-when your full, actual self rationalizes the endorsement, then, and only then, is your desire identified with. Not surprisingly, I argue for this view in roughly the same way I argue for the alienation view of the previous paper.

This book works through the notion of the alien in contemporary philosophy. The authors attempt to think through politics, posthumanism, and alienation beyond and across the circuitry of thought that would otherwise enfold the alien in its regressive and parochial trappings. The figure of the Other has held critical thought in its sway for decades, to the point that we now suffer from a surfeit of alterity. This book considers whether the figure of the alien can offer us something better. It traces the outlines, intersections, and problems of emergent vectors of thought that coalesce around a renewed relationship to alienation: left accelerationism, xenofeminism, and inhumanism. Their common thread is the embrace of alienation as a positive force, transforming our progressive exile from a series of edenic harmonies – be they economic, sociological, or biological – into an esoteric genealogy of freedom. Appeals to alien forces can mask all too familiar prejudices, repackaging old assumptions in the language of sublime strangeness or harsh reality. This book seeks to move beyond this by looking at how the notion of the alien interacts with present problems and politics. It was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.
