Reification (Marxism)
text:
In Marxist philosophy, reification is the process by which human social relations are perceived as inherent attributes of the people involved in them, or attributes of some product of the relation, such as a traded commodity. As a practice of economics, reification transforms objects into subjects and subjects into objects, with the result that subjects (people) are rendered passive, whilst objects (commodities) are rendered as the active factor that determines the nature of a social relation.
