This article tries to understand the concept of alienation and, more specifically, as this concept is articulated in two thinkers of political theory, namely, Rousseau and Marx. The interpretative proposal of this work seeks to demarcate approaches and differences between these two thinkers. We observe in Rousseau's concept of alienation as a basis of formation of the State, the basis of the social contract. In Marx, initially, the concept assumes an economic dimension, as the category that expresses the relationship between the worker and the product of their productive activity. In his speech, from the concept of alienation, are derivatives the basic elements of the analysis of the political economy, such as private property and the surplus value. Both thinkers alienation serves to treat of human existence and its quest for independence and freedom, very important concepts to the social theory.
