Andrew Feenberg is a key representative of the new generation of the Frankfurt School.The main source of his critical theory is based on critical analysis on Marcuse and Habermas.Western traditional critical theories always support the view of "take it or drop it",but Feenberg did not agree with that.Feenberg advocates the real problem is not sustaining or opposing technology, but change the Technical Code through public participation in technical design and promote the democratization of technology. And it can promote the development of multiculture and integrated development of human beings through the democratization of technology and go to the socialist civilization.
