“It is the alienated insight into the actual objectification of man and into the actual appropriation of his objective nature by the destruction of the alienated character of the objective world, by the transcendence of the objective world in its alienated existence, just as atheism which transcends God is the emergence of theoretical humanism, and communism which transcends private property is the vindication of actual human life as man's property, the emergence of practical humanism. Or, atheism is humanism mediated through itself by the transcendence of religion, and communism is humanism mediated through itself by the transcendence of private property. Only through the transcendence of this mediation--which is, however, a necessary presupposition--emerges positive humanism, humanism emerging positively from itself.”
