The rapid development of technology has also caused a certain degree of counter-effects while integrating into the society,causing people to re-examine the technology.Following the intrinsic path of the Frankfurt school's criticism of technology,Feinberg built his own concept of technological democracy.The overall framework of this article is:First,this paper expounds the origin of Feenberg Technology Democracy Theory,focuses on the background of his technical democracy,and at the same time,describes the absorption of Marx,Marcuse and the theory of social constructivism in this thought.Secondly,by expounding the"instrumental theory" of Feenberg Technology and the "rationality of democracy" in the core of technology democracy,this paper emphatically expounds the "interests of the participants" in the technology democracy,and expounds the ways of realizing the technological democracy from the macroscopic and microscopic two paths to construct the Feenberg technology democratic ideology.At last,it expounds the gain and loss of Feenberg technology democracy thought,and then carries on the view to the Chinese realm.Feenberg's technology democracy thought creatively integrates the theory criticism with the practice degree,advocates the democratic technical politics from the microcosmic path,innovates the knowledge of technology,thus realizes the experience turn in the technical category.His thought reveals the feasibility of achieving technological democracy in the process of technological development,and points out the direction for the rational development of technology and the harmonious progress of society in the future.Especially in the process of exploring the technological development of our country,we will introduce the Feenberg technology democratic thought,and then make the targeted transformation and application.This is beneficial to the development of technology in our country,which can get rid of the pattern of developing along the Western technology path and avoid the bad technical problems.Thus,it is helpful to construct the democratic system suitable for our country's technological development,to promote the rationality and the scientific evolution of our country's technological decision,and to strengthen the theory and practice of our country's modernization construction.
