Marx has always taken the pursuit of a better life as his theoretical core,and Marx's philosophy of technology as one of his theoretical branches also focuses on the realization of human liberation.In the modern society with the rapid development of science and technology,a series of technological alienation problems have appeared.Therefore,criticism and reflection on technology and how to properly deal with the relationship between people and the world around them are crucial.Based on the realistic background of industrial revolution,Marx's philosophy of technology reflected on various irrational phenomena under capitalist industry and sympathized with the miserable fate of workers.Marx regards the close relationship between technology and human as the entry point to think about the essence of technology,which is embodied in the following aspects: technology as the essence of human,technology as the basis of human existence,technology as the driving force to realize human freedom and liberation,and the analysis of human technological capital.In Marx's philosophy of technology,technology is a specific way of existence for human consciousness of freedom,creation of value and realization of happiness.It is also a realistic force to realize people's free labor time,promote the historical liberation of human beings and finally realize the destination of communist value.The core of Marx's philosophy of technology is to show that the essential function of technology is to continuously improve people's ability so as to achieve better development.This kind of human orientation deeply reflects the unique value implication of Marx's technology philosophy,which not only provides an important theoretical basis for the Frankfurt School to criticize the current social technology theory,but also provides practical significance for how to deal with the relationship between people and society,technology and people in the contemporary society.In the application of technology,people should always be taken as the starting point and end point,starting from the "person" itself and finally returning to the "person" itself.
