浅议“单向度的社会”

The One-dimensional Society

现在对西方社会的研究进行得如火如荼,马尔库塞《单向度的人》是其中不可不读的著作。在该书中马尔库塞描绘了一个单向度的社会,在这个社会中,技术成了新的控制形式,在这一基础上,统治阶级的一切行为也就获得了合理性的存在。以至于社会的语言被全面控制,政治领域也只有单方面的力量存在,人们普遍获得了一种虚假的幸福意识。文章在此基础上还对该观点的一些局限性进行了论述,并且阐明了这一理论对我国社会主义现代化建设的意义。

Marcuse＇s ＂One-dimension Man＂ is a must-read work in the context of the intensive research on Western society.In the one-dimension society,technology is a new controlling form,based on which all conducts of the ruling class is dismissed as rationality.Social language is controlled completely with one political force,and people have a fake sense of happiness.The limitations in this opinion are discussed to point out the significance of this theory to Chinese socialistic construction.
