Marx's Thought On The Social Role Of Science And Technology

The Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx is an important part of Marxist theoretical system,which runs through the formation and development of Marxist theory in the classic works of Marx.The scientific and revolutionary of the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx has been verified in the historical process of global modernization,and it is also an important theoretical guide to guide the construction of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics.Since the first industrial revolution,human society and civilization have developed rapidly with the help of science and technology.Science and technology have penetrated into all fields and aspects of social life.Although the present situation of science and technology and social development has made a great leap compared with the times in which Marx is in,the development law of human society still runs in the theoretical framework of Marxism.In order to correctly understand and give full play to the positive social role of science and technology,and to correct the wrong understanding and eliminate the social malpractices caused by the abuse of science and technology,it is of great significance to study the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx in theory and practice.This paper systematically expounds the historical background and theoretical origin of the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx by using the methods of literature research,analysis and induction,the combination of theory and practice and functional analysis,and combs in detail the evolution process of the formation,development and maturity of the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx.On this basis,this paper summarizes the main content of the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx.Finally,it summarizes the internal characteristics of the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx,analyzes several wrong thoughts of the western view on science and technology,and discusses the enlightenment of the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx to China's modernization construction from the perspective of history.The Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx is rich in content and clear in logic,which mainly includes Marx's definition of the connotation of science and technology,the dialectical relationship between science and technology and its multiple attributes,Marx's thinking on the social role of science and technology in four aspects: productivity,production relations,superstructure and social civilization,examining the basic connotation,negative effects,causes and solutions of alienation of science and technology from a critical point of view.When we examine the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx again in the new era,we will find that it follows the dialectical unity of natural view and scientific view,natural dialectics and historical materialism,technological rationality and value rationality,as well as social and historical trend and subject selection.This internal unity determines the scientificity,revolutionary,popular and openness of the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx.Three kinds of views on science and technology are widely popular in the western society today.If we look at these three views on science and technology from the perspective of Marx's Thought on the social role of science and technology,we can prove that there are fundamental differences between Marxist view on science and technology and the determinism of Science and technology,the argument of science and technology and the ideology of science and technology.Therefore,the Thought of Social Function of Science and Technology of Marx is of great significance and value to the economic and social development,the transformation of social governance,the construction of moral ethics and the progress of cultural civilization.
