Feenberg’s Critical Theory Of Technology And Its Modern Value

The strength of technology in the process of global modernization and change is obvious to all.People are happy with the rapid change of technology and are more and more inclusive of technology development.Technology makes people have more vision for the future era of science and technology,but it needs to be clear that the development of technology can not be blind and disordered.The development of modern science and technology needs technology critical theory to spur and wake up behind the technological situation that technology is constantly winning.Therefore,we should pay attention to the research of Finberg’s technology critical theory.Standing on the wave of the times,Andrew fenberg observes the current situation of social development,excavates the deep forces supporting economic,political and cultural development,analyzes Marx’s view on technology,analyzes Heidegger’s position on criticizing technology,inherits Frankfurt School’s research path of criticizing technology,and studies Marcuse’s four dimensions of criticizing technological rationality,This paper discusses Habermas’ theory of technological communication.He made a comprehensive analysis of the research of many scholars,distinguished the form of technology theory,summarized the failure path of previous attempts to solve technical problems,grasped the research essence of early technology theory criticism,and constructed technology critical theory based on the analysis of technology from multiple angles.Therefore,the study of Feinberg’s critical theory of technology is of great academic value to the study of philosophy of technology.This paper mainly analyzes the theoretical essence of Feinberg’s critical theory of technology from his works,and clarifies the theoretical background,the source of ideas and the current situation of technology development in combination with the two stages of thinking,highlighting its value.Through objective analysis,we can get a deep understanding of Feinberg’s technical thought.The research on the initial stage of fenberg’s thought mainly starts from the technical thought of Marx,Heidegger,Marcuse,Habermas and others.The main content of Feinberg’s critical theory of technology is from the following aspects: Feinberg’s understanding of the carrier change of technology in the stage of social development,the important role of technology in social construction,and the instrumental theory and technological dialectics that need to be focused on in this process,From the current situation of social technology development,this paper analyzes Feinberg’s technology critical theory and its modern value,and provides reasonable ideas for China’s technology development.Technology is a "double-edged sword",which not only brings about social progress,but also has great negative effects.Fenberg analyzes the social impact of technology from the perspective of neutrality,and affirms the prospect of technology.The ideas of technological design,technological democracy and educational technology in his rational social life are of constructive significance to solve the social problems caused by many technologies.
