马克思技术批判之现代性根基的文化哲学解析

Cultural- philosophical Analysis on the Modernistic Foundation of Marx's Technological Critique

"现代性"是对现代文化精神及实践的最深刻、凝练的概括。马克思将现代性理解为现代人的整体生存方式或文化模式。在马克思看来,现代性构成技术置身其中的整体文化背景;技术构成现代性的基础和重要标志,由外而内地影响现代人的生活。立足于现代人的生存实践,马克思展开对技术的批判。马克思立足现代性批判的技术批判,因具有总体性特征而超越了政治经济学批判,表现为一种更为深切的文化批判,其实质是对现代人技术化生存困境的反思、批判与诊疗。

Modernity is the most profound and concise summary of modem cultural spirit and practice. Marx sees it as a modem life style or a pattern of culture. In Marx＇ s view, modernity shapes the overall cultural background of technology. Technology, which affects modem life from the outside to the inside, is the foundation and an important symbol of modernity. Based on modem living practice, Marx initiates his critique of technology. By reason of its gen- eral characteristic, Marx＇ s technological critique based on the critique of modernity transcends the critique of politi- cal economy and has brought a more profound cultural critique, the essence of which is the reflection, critique and treatment of modem technological living dilemma.
