重新反思技术理性——解读马尔库塞的技术理性批判

面对科学技术的迅猛发展和大规模运用所带来的消极后果,不少西方学者把技术理性的彰显看作是其主要原因之一。法兰克福学派理论家对科学技术合理性问题进行了反思和探讨,把科学技术、合理性与资本主义相联系,在一定程度上认识到科学技术的异化同资本主义制度有关,形成了较为丰富和深刻的科技伦理观。技术理性的缺陷在于工具理性和价值理性的背离,克服这一缺陷的根本途径在于把工具理性和价值理性统一起来。

RE-CONSIDERATION OF TECHNICAL RATIONALITY-INTERPRETATION OF MARCUSE'S CRITICISM OF TECHNICAL RATIONALITY

Confronted by the negative consequences brought by the rapid development of science and technology and their large-scale application,many western scholars attribute them mainly to technical rationality.In reflecting over the rationality of science and technology,the theoreticians of the Frankford school combined science and technology,rationality and the capitalist system,thus realizing,to a certain extent,the association of the alienation of science and technology with the capitalist system and forming a richer and more profound ethical outlook of science and technology.The flaw of technical rationality lies in the deviation of tool rationality from value rationality and the fundamental approach to overcoming this flaw is to the unification of the two.
