Marcuse's Criticism Theory Of Technical Rationality And Its Contemporary Enlightenment

Science and technology are important revolutionary forces that promote human progress.It reflects the achievements of human civilization in understanding and transforming nature.Looking back at the development process of human society,it is precisely because of the important role of science and technology that we can create more wealth in a century than all other historical periods.While science and technology greatly promote the progress of human society,it not only profoundly affects human production and lifestyle,but also profoundly affects people's ideas.We should correctly examine these changes,and we must adhere to the Marxist views and methods to correctly treat these new changes and stick to the Marxist stance.Facing the practical problems and adverse consequences brought about by the large-scale application of science and technology,Marcuse pointed out that technical rationality has become a new form of social control.Technical rationality not only shows political characteristics,but also has become the carrier of governance.The development of technical rationality allows the ruling class to no longer rely solely on power and violence,but on the means of consumption and other means of entertainment and entertainment.People are not forced but are willing to take the initiative to join the new social rule.Although it better maintains the order of social rule,the real needs of human beings and the potential of individuals are suppressed.People have lost their negation and transcendence and become slaves of technical rationality.Technical rationality incorporates all aspects of economics,politics,and culture into the scope of technical rationality,and eliminates the sense of confrontation from its roots.Although it has a reasonable appearance,it is still unreasonable in essence.As technology expands into all aspects of social life,the developed industrial society has created political,economic,cultural,and ideological integration.The developed industrial society has suppressed the individual's individual liberation,making people become driven by material interests and instrumentalized.One-dimensional person.Marcuse's critique of technical rationality instead of violent rule has become the alienation of ruling society in the development of modern industrial civilization,criticizing the one-dimensionality and political field of human beings caused by the development of industrial society and technological progress.One-dimensionality and one-dimensionality in the field of ideology and culture.Marcuse inherited Marx's critical spirit,expanded the critical field of the Frankfurt School,and elevated the humanistic concept,but adopted a pessimistic approach to technology,hoping to redeem through aesthetics and find a way to help people get liberated.way.Marcuse's profound and rich theoretical theory of technical rationality provides us with reference and enlightenment.In the process of social development,we must not only follow the principle of coordination correctly,but also follow the principle of ecology in order to realize people and society.Natural harmony and symbiosis.
