Introduces A Machine In Capital And The Relationship Of Science And Technology

In the age of which technology is characterized by the highly popular automatic equipment, many people not only scholars of the bourgeoisie period, as well as those profoundly influenced by Marx’s thoughts, have doubted on the theory of Marx’s labor value. In a word, nowadays the problem has been very serious. We should respond the people’s doubts by clarifying the contemporary significance of Marx’s theory and eliminating technological alienation of human lives and finding a road which is mutually adapt to each other between socialism and capitalism and promoting a healthy development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.If we want to solve the problem, firstly we should find out the problem. The key issue is that whether the composition of capital is still uniform today. We know that there is a social historical basis in the production of capital from which our analysis of capital must start. The basis is the separation of the free worker from his means of production. Our investigation of capital must delve into the historical dimension of the essence of capital. The inherent requirement of the historical dimension is that science and technology must become independent, and must become a kind of social productive force of capital. The independency of science and technology can only succeed on the basis of a certain material means of production, which means capital without machine cannot use science and technology for its proliferation, and the independency of science and technology cannot become true. The reason that the independency of science and technology can be realized in physical body is detennined by the characteristics of modern labor force which is the birthplace of science and technology. The modern labor force is a sort of free labor, as well as a sort of presentational labor force, which determine the independency of science and technology.Science and technology becomes the social productive force of capital after they acquire an independent form in the machine, which therefore means this power costs capital nothing. The reason why modern science and technology, as the first productive force, has shown an" unreasonable rationality" can be attributed to the fact that science and technology has been subordinated to capital today. Technology, however, was not created by capital. We must launch a sort of revolution, a revolution that would be able to fundamentally change modern science and technology and ultimately alter the relations of production, so as to grapple with those confusions stemmed from modern science and technology and eschew the subordination of science and technology to capital——this is possible provided there is a brand-new form of science and technology. For this brand-new form of science and technology, according to Marx, what the first step we should take is to create a sensuous science. Where there is a whole new perceptual science and technology, there is a hope of being freed from the realm of capital.
