Contexto: "Despite the fact that Marx scholars debate the sense in which Marx operates with a notion of “human essence,” it is clear that Marx uses the term “species-being” in order to refer to human “essence” or “nature,” and as such, if humans are alienated from their speciesbeing, then their ability to live in accordance with their essence is frustrated, insofar as they are unable to realize themselves through free, creative, meaningful work with others. (PAINTER, 2016, p. 328)"
