As well known, the notion of reification,though I can enumerate it directly from K.Marx'sCapital only a few places, should first back to G.Lukacs'History and Class Consciousness(Berlin,1923) in his 1922 dated fourth article entitled,'Reification and the Proletarian Consciousness'. The thematization of alienation itself has accompanied this very concept at the same time. In my presentation, I'd like to make it clear how Lukacs in his latest great work, almost half a century later, has modified and developed these couple of finest ideas and their relation to his ontological project. In conclusion, I talk about Fukushima 2011.3.11.
