For Marx (early works, esp. Economical-Philosophical manuscripts, 1844) 
human individual does not end on the border of his skin; his body, his 
nature is Universe. Individual who makes difference and tries to change 
only one side is 'alienated', 'not equal with his own essence (creator) 
yet.' Well worth reading, although very hard as well.
