A Study On The Ideology Of Science And Technology Of Frankfurt School

An important manifestation of the new changes of capitalism in the 20 th century,in the field of culture,is that technological rationality pervades all fields of social life and become the only legal force dominating and shaping modern social life.At this time,science and technology is no longer a neutral existence,but a powerful tool for the ruling class to safeguard its own interests and rule,as well as a hostile force alienated from people.Therefore,many advanced intellectuals in the 20 th century have analyzed and criticized the modern consequences of the combination of science and technology and ideology from a critical standpoint.Among them,the ideology of science and technology of the Frankfurt school is especially classical,which is of great theoretical and practical significance for us to deeply understand the new changes of contemporary capitalism and to explore the harmonious development of man and technology.This paper first illustrates the background of the ideology of science and technology of Frankfurt school.After the second world war,with science and technology more and more closely linked with people's material life,the crisis of the capitalist society itself became increasingly serious,and the bourgeoisie gradually developed science and technology as an important tool to maintain its legitimate rule.The Frankfurt school put forward the ideology of science and technology on the basis of Marxism,Hegelianism and Psychoanalysis.Secondly,it elaborates the Frankfurt school's revelation of the ideological process of science and technology and its criticism of the ideological consequences of science and technology.On the whole,the idealization of science and technology is the inevitable result of the comprehensive construction and in-depth development of the modern rationalization world,and the emergence of this phenomenon leads to the ruthless suppression of people,so that they become a kind of losing their own uniqueness and beyond the essence of the one-way.According to the Frankfurt school,in order to overcome this phenomenon of alienation,it is necessary to stimulate the transcendence of human.Finally,it critically analyzes the rationality and limitation of the theory of scientific ideology of the Frankfurt school.It can be said that this thought developed a critical theory on the basis of Marxism,although its criticism is radical,its constructive force is insufficient.In any case,the ideology of science and technology of Frankfurt school has certain enlightenment to the development of science and technology in the new period of China.
