Science Weber put forward the concept of tool rationality, a lot of modern thinkers including a few so-called Postmodernists all carried on fieriness to the tool rationality of judgment. In their eyes, the tool rationality takes to have "original sin". It attains a utility purpose by pure science and the purely technical means, and it rejects all value, morality, humanities factors. This will cause the person's alienation by all means with the social problems of various each kind. So they make various irregularities of modern western society blaming on the tool rationality all, and then they negative tool rationality, even negative rationality. But so long as we return to tool rationality development headstream (Hobbes is there), carry on some kind of thorough analysis with consider again, we can find out that, as one of the mankind's rational manifestations, the tool rationality is a neutral, it cannot be designated as good and bad. And, it is to be able to contain factors such as people's right, liberty, value, morality, embody the humanity spirit, with ideal. So the tool rationality has no wrong, it also has no dated. We should re- know in the judgment voice with comprehension tool rationality, and make use of tool rationality correctly.
