Study On Fromm’s Thoughts About Humanization Of Technological Society

In the vast universe of human improvement so far, no doubt, the technology has takenup the irreplaceable task of escorting the development of human society, in the long historypast. Looking at the human world in the twenty-first century, the modern technology systemhas reached an unprecedented high point, and it is still speeding quickly under thedevelopment model of innovation and scientific research ability of all over the world. Thetechnology, a double-edged sword in the hands of human beings, has been tended increasinglyto command upon themselves, the so-called technical alienation. The German-Americanphilosopher of humanism, psychoanalyst Erich Fromm, with his humanitarian perspective,explore the common resolution of the humanity and technology, which is exactly a typicalmanifestation of the awareness of the crisis of the technology’s gradual domination, instead ofbeing created and serving the human beings. In the field of technical philosophy, how toreturn the original nature of the technology and maintain its current state of advanceddevelopment level, is still a difficult problem. Human desire to use the technology with itsoriginal nature, in order to solve the all kinds of crises triggered by the technical overdrafts.Erich Fromm’s human-technology idea is one of the technical philosophical thoughts ofhumanistic ultimate concern. He devoted his life to achieve the envisaged humanitariantechnical society, the publication of "Hope of the revolution-leading to humane technology"made a systematic exposition of his critical theories of technology, with a stronghumanitarian color. He wrote his philosophical writings, as a social therapist with moralresponsibility, using his humanitarian ideas, diagnosed the alienation of the contemporarywestern capitalist industrial society, prescribe the right medicine, and then made a series ofhumane treatment program, in order to put the technology back into the control of its owner,and eventually to build a sound utopian society. Therefore, sneaking into the field ofpsychology and exploring the human nature, and the critics of the technology in the field ofthe philosophy, has become an important part of the overall humanitarian Fromm concept.
