The Digital Age and the Dilemma of Subjects:A Reflection on the Perspective of Marx's View of Science and Technology
[Research purpose]Marx's concept of science and technology is Marx's generalization and summary of science and technology and its development law,which stresses that technology plays an important role in promoting the progress of human society and the free and comprehensive development of human beings,and points out that human beings are the core and ultimate purpose of scientific and technological development.At present,mankind is in the most prosperous era of digital technology.Digital technology,as a new form,has changed people's life and production,promoting the prosperity of the whole social form.However,the subjectivity of human beings in the context of the digital era is also facing an unprecedented crisis.Along with the rise of the digital economy,the formation of digital labor and the penetration of digital capital,human beings have essentially become the"subordinate"of the digital,and have generated problems such as the crisis of subjective value,the crisis of machine substitution and the crisis of social exclusion.[Research method]Through studying Marx's important exposition on the development of science and technology,analyzing the crisis of human subjectivity and its derivatives under the rapid development of digital technology,we discuss the countermeasures for the value-based,alternative,and exclusion-based crisis of human subjectivity and its derivatives under the perspective of Marx's view of science and technology.[Research conclusion]Finally,we conclude that it is necessary to solve the problem of the crisis of human subjectivity in the digital era by vigorously carrying forward the humanistic concept in Marx's view of science and technology,promoting the mutual integration of Marx's view of science and technology with the theory of value of labor,and emphasizing the improvement of the quality of scientific and technological talents and workers.This highlights the important theoretical significance and practical value of Marx's view of science and technology in the development of contemporary society.
