The Research On Marcuse’s Criticism Of Discourse

As the product of human beings using language to express ideas,communicate and think,discourse also promotes the formation of human self-identity in the process of its development,enabling ancient humans to get rid of barbarism and move towards civilization.However,in the unidirectional society controlled by technological rationality,the language tools originally used by human beings for daily communication and interaction are alienated,engulfed and closed by politics;concepts are omitted,and developed into a functionalized one-dimensional language,forming a functional discourse system serving technology and power.Criticizing the alienated language of unidirectional society and trying to find a new and awakening new sensibility discourse mode constitute the clue of Marcuse’s discourse critical thought,and the twist and turns in it actually reflect the transformation of Marcuse’s revolutionary liberation strategy under the influence of many internal and external factors.Marcuse’s discursive critical thought begins with four parts: its formation,development,continuation,and its contemporary value.In the 20 th century,liberalism and totalitarian tendencies crisscrossed within various capitalist countries,and the failure of the European workers’ movement attracted the attention of Western Marxists to the problem of human survival,among which the Frankfurt School gradually changed its revolutionary strategy in the discussion of human survival,and also profoundly affected the formation and development of Marcuse’s discursive critical thought.In the process,the criticism absorbs Heidegger’s linguistic ontology and the language of poetry,the Russian formalist view of de-familiarization,the Frankfurt School’s discussion of the relationship between language and ideology,and the most important ideological core of the Marxist view of language and revolution,combined with the linguistic turn in the field of Western philosophy,criticizes the discourse of modern industrial society,and exposes the linguistic phenomena that occur in the process of communication under the control of technical rationality,including the abuse and functionalization of language,etc.,which are also included in this functionalization Under the language of the masses,people gradually lose their revolutionary consciousness and negative thinking,etc.,thus constructing a functional discourse system in the context of modern capitalism.The connotation of Marcuse’s critical thought and the changes that occurred in the later period are related to his revolutionary emancipation strategy in three aspects: as an important link in the revolutionary emancipation strategy;it is a reflection of the shift in revolutionary emancipation tactics;both have the true emancipation of man as their ultimate goal.The continuation of his discourse critical thought by later generations also reflects the contemporary value of Marcuse’s discourse critical thought and its theoretical significance for the development of Western Marxism,deepens our understanding of Marcuse’s critical theory of society,and experiences Marcuse’s humanistic concern as a philosopher who always adheres to revolutionary views,and at the same time pays attention to some biased views of language by Western Marxist scholars,including Marcuse,and we must adhere to the correct,The scientific Marxist outlook on language has important guiding significance for China’s construction of a socialist discourse system with Chinese characteristics.
