马克思与技术决定论研究述评

On the Study of Marx and Technological Determinism

关于技术决定论的定义一直存在分歧,马克思的技术哲学思想与技术决定论的关系也倍受争论。本文回顾了关于技术决定论的种种定义,同时综述了国内学界关于“马克思是技术决定论者吗?”这个问题的三种观点,在此基础上对赞同派、反对派和折中派的论证逻辑加以总结。其中特别指出,“马克思的技术哲学观点”与“马克思主义的技术哲学观点”两个概念应该予以澄清。

There are always some divergences on the definition of technological determinism and also, there are many disputes on the relation between Marx's thought on philosophy of technology and technological determinism. This paper reviews many different definitions of technological determinism, and summarizes three views on 'Is Marx a technology determinist?' Based on the above discussion, this paper makes a summary of the logic of demonstration used by the approving party, the opposition, and the eclecticism, and it points out in particular that we should clarify the concept of 'Marx's view on philosophy of technology' and the concept of 'Marxism's view on philosophy of technology'.
