Compare Heidegger's Truth Of Technology With Marx's Theory Of Technology

Heidegger has changed his thought in the 1930s, and his questioning to existence has changed into questioning to technology. Heidegger has criticized the tool conceptions of technology and the anthropological conceptions of technology in his last thoughts, and pointed it out deeply that mankind would have to face the destiny ruled by technology. Heidegger starts with analyzing popular idea, and searches for the real things from the right things, and enters the field of modern technology progressively. That is to say, he tries to understand the essence of technology by understanding us. Heidegger has finished his questioning to technology in his own way, such as, ontology and linguistics, and has finished the solution of the traditional conceptions of technology.Such a conclusion must happen finally to him, namely technology is a kind of way to reach truth. And the Entbergen is exactly essence of truth in ancient Greece and Rome. Heidegger stipulated the essence of technology to Entbergen and emphasized the meaning of technology in the construction of world. Heidegger interprets the essence of modern technology as the Ge-stell. First of all, the Ge-stell is the way of Entbergen of realistic things as thingexisting by oneself. In the Ge-stell, the world is constructed by activity associated in technology, and human, thing and natural relation with world have been all already based on the Ge-stell. In the Ge-stell, the ones that appear for the target can rule in the world, usable, measurable stereotyped functional material. The Ge-stell is the show of world which is prior to the human activity. Must allow to limit and impose the nature and world must permit the limitation and imposition at first, and point out this kind of possibility unfolded to human, and human can take things to unanimity and materialization. In the Ge-stell, modern technology controls human, and human are taken up and called, and the Ge-stell is shown as the God's will of placing oneself above mankind.Heidegger thinks that the evil consequence that modern technology causes to mankind is to stem from this kind of changes imposed on human and nature by the Ge-stell of technology. The Ge-stell is the dangerous origin of modern technology. The Ge-stell as the essence of modem technology defers from the original essence of technology as Entbergen. Heidegger criticizes the modern technology, and he wants to change the fundamental construction of Ge-stell, and take it back to the original essence as Entbergen or show of truth.The Ge-stell is the original reason that brings about technological evil to human on the one hand, but it is also the key to solutetechnological evil on the other hand. Heidegger thinks that we can call up the sleeping thinking by contemplation on science and technology in itself, and avoid the Ge-stell' constraints, and return the right to natural ration, and face to the technology on the basis of nature. We should have our independence to technology and put it into use for us, and we can't give up the modern technology. Then human can realize his existence as Dasein and return to oneself. But Heidegger doesn't offer a kind of real way of thinking about the outcome of modern technology. His thinking way to the outcome of modern technology is a kind of waiting for the turn on Ge-stell.On Heidegger's view, the truth of technology is separated from the truth and action of human, and this makes it impossible for solving the problem of technology in the sense of actual. The analysis of technology on Marx's view starts from the real truth of human, so it is not only for Marx to seeks the existence of technology, but also makes the truth of technology related with the action of human.On the problem for the alienation of human with technology, there are clear common sides between Heidegger's and Marx's view on the analysis of technology. Marx thinks that the alienation of technology is the alienation of human, there is consistence between the truth of technology and the truth of human, so Marx looks the truth of technology at the expression of external. People are alienatedin the progress of this produce on the sense of technology. The Work Class is the slavery of science and technology.Heidegger thinks that everything in our society is charged by the power of technology, anything around us and person is also lose his independence and is held by technology. At last, the relationship among people has become a kind of relationship of technology, we can say it is a relationship of thing and thing. The real person has disappeared from this kind of alienation.About the source of the alienation of technology, Marx thinks that the expression of external of technology is not the base of the charge. Otherwise, the base is the alienation of technology. Capital owns the technology. The use of technology in the Capitalistic society makes people are charged by it.Heidegger thinks that the truth of modem technology is the Ge-stell. Human not only lose the ability of charging technology, but also arranged by the power of technology. The power is beyond the power of human.On the problem of the solving the alienation of technology, Heidegger takes the same theory with the experts in After Modern. His means is limited in the language, spirit.The freedom of human^is only put forward in the kingdom of poetry and reflection. He is always waiting in real society. Marx considers that the source of the alienation is the use of technology...
