The Hundred-Year Logic of Objectification Criticism and De-Objectification Deduction
The critical reflection on objectification is the main thread of the century-long course of Western Marxism.In the process of the comprehensive development and evolution of the critique of objectification,Western Marxism constructed the logical coordinates of deduction according to the changes of the times,examined the new form of alienation of human existence,and put forward new paradigms of theoretical thinking,in an attempt to demonstrate the powerful vitality of Marxist critical theory.However,Western Marxist interpretations of objectification criticism and de-objectification deduction generally have three defects:weakening or neglecting the cornerstone superiority of political-economic critique,increasingly detaching"theoretical weapons"from political practice,and gradually contracting practical programs in an inward manner.With the outbreak of a new round of digital and intellectual revolution,objectification criticism can not effectively explore the true path of the organic unity of scientific and technological rationality with humanistic rationality and that of materiality with humanity unless we broaden the vision,update the paradigm,and face up to the materialistic attributes of the objects themselves and the de-objectification of the physical form.
