Marx's critical thought of technology and its contemporary value in Capital and its manuscript
In Capital and its manuscript,Marx places technology within the capitalist mode of production,and con-ducts a social and historical critique of technology around its capitalist application.Focusing on the essence of sur-plus value and production,Marx meticulously studies the technological mechanisms of capital operation and the al-ienation of technology towards workers,pointing out that technology,as a machine for capital's proliferation,is also a machine that makes workers dull and degenerate.Based on the materialist conception of history,Marx points out that the alienation of people caused by technology is caused in the process of human historical development and will also be sublated in the process of human historical development.The political liberation of the proletariat is the foundation and premise for eliminating the alienation of technology.Marx's critical thought on technology can pro-vide ideological guidance and theoretical support for the development of science and technology in contemporary China.From the stance of the people and society,the Communist Party of China has pioneered a new path for the development of science and technology that is different from the Western capitalist society,highlighting the scientif-ic,transcendent,and forward-looking nature of Marxism.
