Abstract: Craftsmanship has a profound impact on the mode of labor,the meaning of labor and the labor(s) in its pursuit of perfection in products.Based on Marx's alienation labor theory,analyses of the features in craftsmanship like innovation,altruism,and ultra-utilitarianism reveal that craftsmanship is the supersession and sublation of alienated labor.It is in the process of sublation that craftsmanship is extended and promoted.

Key words: craftsmanship, alienated labor, unrestrained and comprehensive development
