The Value and Examination of Marcuse's Critique of Technological Totalitarianism in the Dimension of Life Governance
In the era of digital intelligence,technology,power and capital are superimposed to empower each other,constantly reshaping the boundaries of public governance,forming a substantial impact on human's life course and spiritual world.In the 1960s,Marcuse criticized the phenomenon of technological totalitarianism in western capital-ist society,and believed that the combination of technology and power has become a new rule pattern of total control over human.As the main way of operation in contemporary society,technological governance similarly has the risk of alienation of Marcusean.In this regard,it is necessary to promote the ethical transformation of scientific and technological civilization from the dimension of life value,so that the application of technology returns to human-oriented.At the same time,a governance model of multi-subject collaboration and co-governance should be sought,which is driven by a combination of technology,institution,and value,so as to realize the harmonious co-existence of human and technology.
