A Marxist Philosophical Review of the Traditional"Human-Machine Relationship"
In the history of philosophy,there has been a long history of thinking about the"human-machine relationship"."Traditional human-machine relationship"refers to the two-stage human-machine relationship of"hand tools"and"modern machines",which can be summarized as"mechanical","organic"and"separated"relationships.The"mechanical"human-machine relationship has the characteristics of materialism in general,but it is caught in a metaphysical thinking.The"organic"discussion on"human-machine relationship"is complicated,among which Engels'elucidation was the most scientific.He overcame the shortcomings of previous idealism and mechanical materialism in the discussion of"human-machine relationship".The"separate"discussion on"human-machine relationship"was represented by Marx.He found the essential problem of"alienation"of human beings by ma-chines,which reflected the cruel confrontation and dehumanization of humans and machines.Grasping the traditional human-machine relationship from the perspective of Marxist philosophy will help us break the ideological"fog"on the philosophical understanding of"human-machine relationship",and guide the construction of a new harmonious"human-machine relationship"under the background of intelligent technology revolution.
