Research On The Theory Of Marcuse’s Technological Alienation

Science and technology are an important part of Marxist theoretical research.As early as more than 100 years ago,Marx analyzed that the productive forces of capitalist society are driven by science and technology.With the continuous development of western industrial society,Herbert Marcuse believed that advanced industrial society not only failed to bring liberation and freedom to people,but also unknowingly moved towards total alienation in the system of technological domination.In the whole theoretical system,Marcuse focuses on criticizing the limitation and slavery brought by technology,and has a unique research perspective of alienation theory.The background of developed industrial society and traditional Marxist theory laid the foundation for the formation and development of Marcuse’s new theory of technological alienation,and the Frankfurt School also provided Marcuse with a source of criticism.In the process of describing the theory of technological alienation in detail,based on factors such as Western social background and personal experience,Marcuse deeply analyzed the alienation impact of technology on people and society,and demonstrated how technology evolved into ideology and reacted to society.The core concept of,proposing that alienation by technology is the logic propagated by the ruling class.In other words,when a society can more and more overwrite the individual will according to the wishes of the ruling class,the basic attacking role of individual thinking,freedom of choice,and resistance to totalitarianism will be taken away,and this kind of alienation logic is increasingly being accepted unconditionally by people.On the one hand,Marcuse’s critical thought of technological rationality is a concern for people’s living conditions in a developed industrial society,a follow-up elaboration of Marx’s humanistic thought,and an inspiration for other Western Marxist scholars.On the other hand,his judgment on the revolutionary subject and the choice of the path of human liberation are all one-sided.Marcuse’s theory of technological alienation starts from the background of the rapid development of science and technology,combined with the background of today’s information age,and looks at the significance of Marcuse’s theory of technological alienation from a dialectical perspective to my country’s social construction of science and technology strategies for us to analyze man,himself and nature.Reasonable scientific and technological development concept,to discover the realistic connection between the subject and science and technology has important warning significance.
