The 19th and 20th centuries saw numerous attempts to describe and classify symptoms associated with certain psychological 'maladies' previously understood by resort to theology or humoral psychology. Marxist and Western Marxist theories of 'alienation', however, were not that different, in terms of symptom classification, to ancient descriptions of maladies like 'taedium vitae', 'acedia', 'saturnine melancholy' and 'chronic ennui'.

This piece belongs to Historical, Psychological, Sociological and Political Writings, Vol. 4 of The Collected Works of Ian Irvine (Hobson). (Nonfiction)
