With the development of technology, the relationship between technology and people have undergone a radical change.From the surface, the technology has brought to our lives efficient convenient and progress.In fact, technology has replaced the dominant position of human inadvertently, from a appendage into a master of human.It is in such a technical background, an American scholar, Professor LangdonWinner proposed "political technology " theory, he examines the dominant and decisive of technology for humanity from the perspective of political science.Although scholars for political influence of technology, political values and other issues have been give a lot of attention, but for studies about political inherent in the technology itself is a rare fresh, which is why the theory proposed by Professor Langdon Winner known as the first.Therefore, this article will continue to explore the idea of Professor Wenner, from a political science perspective Analysis the characteristics of political inherent in technology.First, the article will starting from the political natures, through analysis and interpret Aristotle’s "Politics" and other related theories to identify the criterion of political nature.Usually we can understand the natural of nature into four areas:priority, decisive, self-organization and orderliness.Political as a natural human nature, it is necessity to have the characteristics of these four areas.But it is not a general nature property, which is a characteristic of human-specific, it is a property of other animals or plants are not available.Therefore, this paper will based on the analysis of nature of its natural and the view of Aristotlede’s Politics, defined the political what contained in human nature as " Construct state " and " Give order "ultimately. The two characteristic features are extended from natural out of nature, they constitute the fundamental and inherent political conditions exist, that is, to determine whether a thing is inherently political, we first have to prove it like humans, have " Construct state " and " Give order " features.Secondly, combined the judgments of political to test the political of technology.Political technologies can be divided into two aspects, one external political technology, this political point of view is widely recognized and accepted, it is mainly expressed as political function or political values.This technology is undeniable external political activity often produces a huge political effect in the natural process, but it is always only as an intermediary between man and nature, in the final it is only the means what human used to" Construct state " and "Give order ".The second is the inherent political technology that think like humans with technology, natural has political attributes.That is, the technology itself contains " Construct state " and " Give order " features. In the interaction between man and nature, the technology is no longer a passive means or instruments, but has become the subject of " Construct state " and "Give order ", the technology exists to guide itself and determines the direction of the relationship and the development between man and the nature In fact, the technology as human, to their own organization and sequence characteristic of the system,but with the history of the evolutionand development,its essential characteristics (organize and give order for others) will gradually revealed.Although in time,the inherent political technology is emergenced later than the external of political technology namely political nature of technology.From this we can draw an importantconclusion that technology like humans are naturally has a political natue.This conclusion is confirmed not only political technology theory which professor Wenner proposed,but also to providesan important theoretical reference for the study about technological political.
