马克思的技术伦理思想及其地位

Marx’s scientific view of morality transforms the traditional ethics based on the alienated influences of the industrial revolution and modern technology, and therefore includes some thought on the technological ethic. While the tradition of modern thought and industrial technology reached the developmental peak in the mean time, Marx observes the real situation of technique’s separation from values, and then turns to lay the foundation of philosophy and ethics for one to eliminate man’s alienated conditions. As one of the earliest philosophers who held the views of the technological ethic in the contemporary tradition of European phenomenology, Marx made the greatest efforts to reveal the wholeness and real relations of facts and values on the technical praxis. It is believed that Marx’s thought on the technological ethic be applied not only to interpret the technological world, but also to transform it. According to his view of practice, today’s technological ethics ought not to suggest the value orientation to the social practice of technologies more rather than to provide the methodological foundation of democratic solutions to the social conflicts and ecological crisis related to the technological development.
