A Humanistic Examination of Gene Editing Technology:A Humanistic Dimension Based on Marx's View of Technology
As a disruptive technological invention in the field of modern life technology,gene editing technology can rewrite human genes through technical means,which poses a new topic for the relation-ship between contemporary people and technology.The theory of technology constitutes an important theoretical branch of Marx's philosophical thought.In his exposition of technological thought,Marx re-veals the interconnected relationship between technology and human existence,human living conditions,and the comprehensive development of individuals,presenting a distinct anthropological dimension to the theory of technology.To examine gene editing technology from the anthropological perspective of Marx's view of technology,it is necessary to analyze the new situation of gene editing technology and human existence and human living conditions,and put forward the optimization rationale of gene editing technol-ogy in combination with the humanistic challenges caused by gene editing technology,which lies in the pursuit of harmonious symbiosis,overcoming technological alienation,and coordinating the relationship between man and technology,so as to realize the technical value of human freedom all-round develop-ment.
