  • Yes

  • No

  • Maybe

  • It's not determined

Answer

Yes, Lukács did develop Theory of reification. He argued that reification is the process by which social relations become objectified and appear to have an independent existence apart from human beings. This process is a central feature of capitalism, which Lukács viewed as a system that alienates workers from their labor, from the products of their labor, and from each other.
