James O 'connor's Critical Theory Of Capitalist Technology

Based on the famous contemporary western ecology marxism representative James o 'connor thought of technology as the research object,by its representative nature reason for text basis,with Marx's historical materialism as the research position,in literature research,comparative research,the unity of logic and history research method as the main method,with "capitalism" which is a major clue as the starting point,technology of o 'connor capitalism critical theory systematically comb summary and interpretation of the argument.Firstly,the paper investigates the realistic background and theoretical source of O 'Connor's critical theory of capitalism technology.The realistic background of O 'Connor's critical theory of capitalism technology is that in the1960 s and 1970 s,the rapid development of capitalism,the accelerating process of regionalization to globalization,and the increasingly serious global ecological problems.Under the realistic background,borrowed from Marx's critique of capitalist technology,the Frankfurt school based on resource,ecology and human nature damage analysis criticism of technical rationality,alienation of capitalism,marxist and ecology,the study of technology and ecological problems,all for o 'connor research technology critical theory provides the theoretical source of capitalism,in order to solve the ecological crisis.Secondly expounds the basic content of o 'connor technology criticism of capitalism: technology is a cultural and natural,in a capitalist society,technology is controlled by the capitalist system,technology alienation makes laborer "slavery" of laborers in labor alienation by squeezing,take comfort in the consumption alienation,leads to the alienation of nature,in turn,harm to human beings.From the analysis of the ways to solve the technology and ecological crisis,O 'Connor believes that the solution to the ecological crisis can be carried out from two aspects.On the one hand,it depends on technology: pursue "good technology" and oppose "bad technology";On the other hand,it is manifested in the joint development of political system and technology,giving play to the key role of technology,realizing the social transformation from"distributive justice" to "productive justice",and carrying out the ecological socialist revolution.In the end,this paper evaluates the value of O 'Connor's criticism of capitalist technology theory.From the theoretical dimension,it not only expands the new perspective of Marxist technology criticism,but also enriches the ecological Marxist technology theory.It has not only the significance of progress,but also its limitations: the incompleteness of solving the ecological crisis and the utopian nature of the practice of ecological socialism.According to the relationship between ecological crisis and capitalist technology,we explore the technological view that is beneficial to the construction of ecological civilization put forward by O 'Connor,which has certain practical and realistic significance for the construction of ecological civilization in China.To better interpret the connotation of the scientific concept of development is also of great significance for us to build a beautiful China today.
