The One-dimensional Theory And Its Practical Significance In Marcuse's "One-dimensional Man"

From the 1950 s to the 1960 s,the western countries after World War II witnessed rapid development of productivity along with the progress of science and technology,and people’s material living conditions were greatly satisfied and improved.In the developed industrial society,the progress of technology make people’s basic material life are met,the simple bound satisfy the people to the pursuit of freedom and comprehensive development,people lost its should be negative,critical and transcendence become one-dimensional persons,society became the opposition and opposition suppressed the one new totalitarian society.Marcuse experienced the development and changes of American society,influenced by Freud psychoanalysis theory,Marx’s historical materialism principle and alienation,Hegel’s dialectics thought and the influence of the social critical theory of Frankfurt school,to incorporate these ideas constantly and the development,finally formed a relatively complete theory of one dimensional,and the one dimensional theory embodied in the "one dimensional man",the theory including the social and political one,the one thought and culture,the one person,etc.Among them,the one-dimensional social expression is that the ruler’s control form is more concealed,the opposing political factions are integrated and the political theory field is closed.The one-dimensional culture is characterized by the deformity of rationality and the secularization of high-level culture.Unidirectional people analyze and discuss from three aspects: demand alienation,labor alienation and consumption alienation.From the perspective of current practical significance,the one-dimensional theory put forward by Marcuse in one-dimensional man has corresponding value and critical significance as well as limitations.From perspective of value theory is one of capitalist society and even all the developed industrial society proposed by new criticism,inherit and carry forward the Marxist critical spirit,through the property right relations,labor relations and deepen the distribution relationship and state management Angle for the understanding of the historical course of capitalism and socialism,and reveals the rulers of technical rationality behind cover supremacy,wary of the rapid development of science and technology in today’s society of one dimensional production,promote the all-round development of human beings has great theory value;Limitations from the point of view,Marcuse "one dimensional man" theory of one dimensional existence one-sided interpretation of the basic theory of Marxism,is a kind of excessive radical utopian revolution of science and technology ethics and pessimism theory,the theory has denied the rationality of the technological progress,ignored the basis of scientific development so as to ensure the material supplies for people living conditions.Therefore,in the process of study and research,we should treat the unidirectional theory in two ways,and use the dialectical thought to treat the warning and reference function of the unidirectional theory to our country’s social development.
