The Postmodern Turn Of Modern Western Scientific View And Its Rational Essence

In the Modern world, knowledge is power, scientific accesses to dreams, human is self-centered,technique and rationality are first, science and technology are universal, confirmed the nature of force, theprogress of industrial civilization, social wealth expansion, which has been the universal belief andcollective misunderstanding of the modern western theory of science. However, the paradox is that whenthe modern western scientific view dominates the cult of technological rationality and makes the industrialcivilization prosper, it doesn’t bring human into the happy paradise as they generally expect, but makesthem trapping into all sorts of survival crisis and no way to find out. It is based on the reflection of theinherent evils of the modern scientific concept, along with the development of time; the progress ofcivilization, post-modernist strongly calls for correction of the abnormal development of the technicalrationality and the reconstruction of the humanistic spirit in order to revert to the nature of the people thatalready had been alienated. In other words, the establishment of the post-modern scientific view aims atthoroughgoing correction of the chronic illness of human that existed in the modern technology living filedof vision to set up full and free development of life value orientation, get rid of segmentation of culture andscience, abandon the negative effect of technology, foster harmonious coexistence, friendly and toleranthumanity environment in order to overcome the narrow-minded mentality and selfish nature, set up thecore value system for human living’s foundation, provide ultimate consideration, set up rational beliefsystem to provide human being the new spirit support and final value basis in order to get rid of depressionand confusion caused by faith crisis, spirit collapse without soul, the circumstance of character running.However, throughout the history evolution of the modern Western scientific view and its postmodern direction changing, regardless of the rational design of various factions of science and philosophy or theextreme way of expression of post-modern philosophers, and their treatment measures seem unrealistic andunhelpful. Because of their correction plan for humanity illness caused by technological alienation,although they give late capitalism cultural logic and other human nature problem spicy criticism, in generalview, they are wise and profound, but anyway they didn’t give the right remedy. the key issue is that theydid not find out the system root that caused all of this,but only concern about the technology and itsmethod of use, hence they clearly find out the problems but haven’t solve them successfully. So how to useMarx’s scientific view as the base to reconstruct the reasonable modern scientific view to revert to humannature, to set up reasonable scientific value system to make one’s life has the whereabouts and one’s spirithas its entrustment, to provide completely concern and obtain new spiritual support, has been the mainsubject of modern western scientific view study and post modern turning problem. As the contemporaryChinese scholars’ viewpoint on this study: One hand is focusing on the modern western confined thinkingframework and fancy to start the humanity revolution to achieve the reject of technological rationale andthe protection of human respect, on the other hand is impact to start the innovation of technologicalviewpoint and use the spirit strong cleaning power of the post-modern philosophy to correct the negativeeffect of technology. This article deliberately stands on the viewpoint of Marx’s scientific worldview,advocating the only way to completely abandon the system root breezed via technology alienation andrealize the full development of human’s free nature is starting a subversive social revolution.Specifically, first through an overview of the history of the modern Western scientific concept ofevolution, to ascertain the narrow path that modern rationale leads development of technology to. Even if itcreated the strong material civilization but can’t offer the justification why people live like this, and can’tconsolidate the positive meaning of life at the important time of life and death of human being, moreover to reveal the theory dilemma of modern scientific view itself. Because it bases on the abandon of the inherentflaws of the modern view of science, various post-modernism scientific view appear. However, eitherpositive or negative post-modernists, even if they give the modern scientific view sharp and profoundcriticism, not finding out the fundamental way to correct the malady of modern scientific view. Otherwise,because of various limitations, they trap in the extreme one-side ideological position. To the contrary,Marxist scientific standpoint views materialist dialectical view as their theoretical basis, comprehensivelyanalyze the theoretical essence of the modern western scientific view and post-modern turning, intent tointegrate the rational factor of the spiritual resources of the Western modern and postmodern view ofscience, set up modern scientific view of consciousness on the base of scientific view of practice, in orderto guide people in harmony with nature, to set up global awareness, the sense of crisis, the consciousness ofhome and ultimate, to get rid of the instant benefits eager for quick success, and short-sighted narrowvisions, to control the relationship between people and nature in the right way, to respect for nature, be kindto resource, enhance the level of intelligence and moral dimension that overcome the negative effects of thetechnology. Obviously, the subversion of the post-modern scientific view point, the program of politicalchange and practice of Marxism point program of social revolution has intrinsic commensurability. Both ofthem meet by chance in the contemporary time and joint internally. Their common Critical object makesthem together. Marx also saw the technology paradox and its value load the illegal repression of humannature, with the viewpoint of the improper use of modern technology makes it an alien and hostile forces,however, he thinks that the correction of this technology alienation and its humanity ills not just resort tothe cultural critique or psychological revolution, but completely eradicate the social basis and institutionalroots produced by technological alienation through institutional revolution, to get rid of the dependence ofman by man, and also get rid of people’s dependence on technology, achieve the comprehensive development of freedom of personality, ultimately freed from the alienation of science and technology thatdominate the fate of life, achieve the leap from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom, reallyconsciously create human civilization history of our own perfect life.
