ABSTRACT
The gravity of the problem of Moral Pollution or Moral Malaise has come to be recognized as a serious threat to human society and civilization. Philosophers of all shades have engaged themselves in enquiring into it. Some times the scientific achievements and technological advancements have been blamed.
Others have called it the original sin' while a few others have referred to the irreversible state of alienation equality it with objectification of all sorts. However, the analysis of Morality reveals that it is an important form of social consiciousness
based on socio-economic material conditions of a particular
class in a class divided society. Morality is an historical phenomenon. Alienation as understood by Marx is the root cause of moral pollution. De-alienation or emancipation of human beings is possible only through radical reorganisation of society based on equality and freedom of indi vi dual beings.
