On The Alienation Theory Of Frankfurt School

Alienation theory plays a very important role in Marx 's theoretical system,especially since the publication of the manuscript of economic philosophy in 1844,alienation theory has been widely valued by the academic community,especially under the further study of many theoretical masters of the Frankfurt school,alienation theory has obtained new development.Alienation theory can be valued by people.The basic reason is that alienation theory itself is a model of the combination of theory and practice.In modern society,people still haven't got rid of the existence of alienation completely.Whether suffering from the trauma of war,being oppressed by exploitation,worrying about unemployment,or being trapped in consumerism and being at a loss in front of the rapid development of science and technology,"alienation" permeates every corner of real life.Therefore,in the face of all kinds of alienation in society,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to re-examine and sort out the alienation theory of the masters of Frankfurt school,so as to further enrich and expand Marx's alienation theory and gradually crack the alienation state in the real society.In the first chapter of this paper,the introduction summarizes the development of foreignization theory before Frankfort school,paves the way for the specific research of the following paper,and discusses the research significance of this paper from the theoretical and practical significance of academic research from the perspective of combining theory with practice.Based on the analysis,induction and summary of the research on the alienation theory of Frankfurt school by scholars at home and abroad,this paper points out the differences in the research paradigms of scholars from different countries,and further explains the research characteristics that whether domestic scholars or foreign scholars are good at the research of specific characters and theories of alienation,but neglect to grasp systematically.On this basis,this paper clarifies this paper The research methods used and the possible theoretical innovations and theoretical deficiencies in this paper.The second chapter discusses the background,the origin and the main content of Frankfurt alienation theory.The Frankfurt school was founded in the Weimar Republic.After decades of development and evolution,it has formed an all inclusive academic school.The popular period of Frankfurt School happens to be the most prominent period of Fordism in capitalist social production activities.Under the interwoven effect of technology and consumerism,multiple social crises are frequently highlighted,which is called flange The construction of the alienation theory of Kefu school provides important practical evidence.On the basis of absorbing Marx's alienation theory and Lukacs' s Materialization Theory,its members have formed a unique alienation theory system,which includes the analysis of the concept of alienation,the discussion of the causes of alienation and the construction of the academic path to eliminate alienation.The third chapter focuses on the general alienation theory of Frankfurt scholars.The study of psychoanalysis is often favored by the Frankfurt school.After all,the famous period of the Frankfurt school is also the period when Freud's psychoanalysis method became popular.In addition,the study of psychology is the specialty of some members of the Frankfurt school.Therefore,the alienation of human and self has always been the focus of Frankfurt school.In the view of Frankfurt school,human beings have the psychological tendency to escape freedom.The reason lies in the personality dilemma of abstract production itself.If we want to get rid of this situation,we must build a sound society in all aspects.In the process of self alienation,people will inevitably bring about the alienation of communication between people and others.Because of the extreme paranoia of individualism,people tend to put pressure on others in the process of communication,and the relationship between people is no longer harmonious and unified,but into a confrontation situation.The fourth chapter focuses on the consumption alienation theory of Frankfurt school.After World War II,developed capitalist countries gradually entered a stable development state,but a series of negative social problems followed,consumption alienation is one of them.In the view of Frankfurt school,people have gradually lost the ability and freedom of active choice in the consumer society.In order to meet the false needs,people continue to prove the meaning of their own existence through the way of consumption.Consumption itself has gradually changed from the economic behavior to the ultimate purpose of people's actions--consumption for consumption,hidden in consumption The symbolic power,landscape society,ideology and other issues behind Cheng are the focus of Frankfurt school.The fifth chapter focuses on the alienation theory of science and technology of Frankfort school.Science and technology should have been one of the tools for the benefit of human society.However,in the view of Frankfurt school,the higher the level of science and technology is,the stronger the instrumental rationality is,the more human beings are trapped in the cage of scientism.Technology itself has gradually stepped out of the "neutral" state and began to have ideological characteristics.Therefore,science and technology have become the opposite of human beings,and become the alien force to oppress and enslave human beings.At the same time,behind the war crisis and ecological crisis in modern society,we can clearly perceive the thrust of science and technology development.It is in this context that Frankfurt school deeply discusses the alienation behind the development of science and technology,and launches theoretical criticism on the alienation of science and technology from the perspectives of instrumental rationality,path dependence,value neutrality,ideology,etc.The sixth chapter of this paper makes a general evaluation of the alienation theory of Frankfurt school.This paper points out that,as one of the most important research centers of Marxism in foreign countries,it has positive theoretical reference and inspiration for expanding the research perspective of Marx's alienation theory,paying attention to the new changes in the development of contemporary capitalist society and deepening the research on the practical problems of human and society to dig deeply into the development context,internal logic and critical power of the alienation theory of Frankfurt school Significance.At the same time,in the process of research,we should also keep a clear cognition,dare to reveal the internal defects of the alienation theory of Frankfurt school,point out its distorted interpretation and creation of Marx's alienation theory,see clearly its deliberate avoidance of capitalist private ownership,and thoroughly analyze the utopian facts pointed by its practice.
