In the period of exile in Paris,Marx wrote the book "Manuscript of Economics and Philosophy in 1844",which represents the budding state of his new worldview,in which Marx proposed the theory of alienated labor.Alienated labor theory is an important part of the Marxist theoretical system,it provides a unique perspective on the criticism of capitalist society,and also becomes a critical clue with a strong historical extension.Under different historical conditions and social circumstances,alienated labor will present different forms of expression in different periods,and will become an important grasp of the criticism of capitalism in different times.Marx gradually formed his own alienation view based on Hegel's idealist alienation view,Bernbach's humanist alienation view,and his criticism of national economics.Starting from the four-fold rule of alienated labor,Marx revealed the capitalist production relations,analyzed private ownership and division of labor as the root of alienated labor,and proposed that the positive way to abandon alienation is to realize communism.Subsequently,the alienation thought was specifically developed and developed in The Capital,and Marx's alienation labor theory was further deepened and improved.Alienation is a historical concept that has different manifestations in different periods.With the rapid development of science and technology and changes in social life,especially the expanding range of social production,the forms of labor are increasingly diversified,and alienated labor has also produced many manifestations,which are displayed in more social fields.For example,alienation of technology,alienation of consumption,and alienation of ecology are all new concrete forms of labor alienation based on new social conditions.Their common ground is the upside-down relationship between subject and object.Regarding the elimination of these alienation,Western Marxists have analyzed the causes of these new alienation from the technical and institutional level,and also pointed out that the elimination of these alienation cannot be achieved only by technical efforts,but also that the underlying production relations must be fundamentally changed.With the advent of the Internet age and the development of the information industry,new forms of alienation labor have emerged,and the phenomenon of alienation in the information field has gradually become prominent.Unlike traditional newspapers,periodicals,books and other mass media,the new media in the network age and the process of generating information have new characteristics.Taking the development of network information as a starting point,based on a review of the basic connotation of information and information alienation,it further analyzes the manifestation of information alienation in the network age,and studies the technical and social mechanisms that it produces.What should be noticed is that the phenomenon of alienation in the field of information has distorted people's values,and has negatively affected China's spiritual civilization and social development.Therefore,in order to eliminate the phenomenon of information alienation,the author finally analyzes the countermeasures of information alienation from the three dimensions of technical level,personal level and social level,and proposes that in the process of eliminating alienation,it is necessary to deal with the technical rationality and value rationality.Relations,enhance personal moral consciousness and media literacy,strengthen social management,and improve corresponding legal systems.
