论芬伯格的新技术批判理论的诞生

Study on the Birth of Feenberg's Theory of New Technology Critique

新技术批判理论是芬伯格技术哲学思想的重要组成部分,其理论来源和产生的主要途径之一在于对哈贝马斯和马尔库塞的批判性分析和总结,芬伯格主要继承了马尔库塞的最核心之处,即技术发展由社会所决定的思想,同时,他也批判性地吸收了哈贝马斯的合理的理论框架和体系,并在此基础上,渲染了他的个性色彩,从而形成了具有自身特色的新技术批判理论。客观地评价芬伯格的新技术批判理论是很有必要的。他的新技术批判理论相应地存在着一定的问题,但同时也带给我们许多启示。

The theory of new technology critique is an integral part of Feenberg＇s technological philosophy, which mainly came from the mixture of the thoughts of Habermas and Marcuse and made use of them in a critical way. The core idea Feenberg inherited from Marcuse is that the technological development depends on the society and, simultaneously, he absorbed critically Habermas＇s rational theoretical framework and system. Thus, he gave his inimitable idea the personal touch to form his distinctive theory of new technology critique. It is necessary to value objectively Feenberg＇s theory of new technology critique in which there are some inappropriate questions to be discussed further but, undoubtedly, it gives many revealations beneficial to us.
