This essay is aimed at exploring the intersections of two key-concepts of the HegelianCritical Theory tradition, namely the categories of freedom and alienation. The conceptof freedom at stake here relies on the idea of social freedom, according to whichindividuals can realize themselves within institutional life forms when they find themselves"at home" in being-with-others. To begin with, alienation can be defined as thesocial condition that prevents such self-realization. In the first two parts of the article,I analyze the criteria for the diagnosis of alienation, first, from a subjective and, second,from an objective perspective; that is, the analysis departs both from the pointof view of the alienated subject and from that of an alienating ("inhabitable") form oflife. In the third part, I try to show how social freedom and alienation are dialecticalinterwoven: while freedom requires alienation in order to be realized, alienation doesimply a moment of freedom.
