卢卡奇物化理论视域下的算法管理批判

Critique of Algorithmic Management from the Perspective of Georg Lukács’ Reification Theory

摘要: 本文以卢卡奇《历史与阶级意识》中的物化理论为框架，聚焦算法管理对劳动过程的重塑和对劳动者主体性的侵蚀。研究发现，算法管理没有脱离工业时代的劳动逻辑，而是资本主义“合理化”原则借助数字技术的深化和完成，它通过时空量化、系统客观性伪装等机制，把外卖骑手的劳动拆成可计算的数据流，形成“数字泰勒制”。卢卡奇提出的“可计算性强制”和物化双重维度，精准剖析了算法支配的深层逻辑。本文采用理论与经验对读的方式，为经典批判理论在数字时代的阐释提供了新的经验支撑，为破解物化困境、重建劳动主体性，提供了兼具理论和实践价值的分析视角。

Abstract: This study takes the reification theory in Georg Lukács’ “History and Class Consciousness” as the analytical framework, focusing on how algorithmic management reshapes the labor process and erodes laborers’ subjectivity. The research finds that algorithmic management does not deviate from the labor logic of the industrial era, but rather represents the deepening and completion of the capitalist “rationalization” principle with the support of digital technology. Through mechanisms such as the quantification of time and space, and the disguise of “system objectivity”, it disassembles the labor of food delivery riders into computable data flows, forming “digital Taylorism”. The “compulsory computability” and the dual dimensions of reification proposed by Lukács accurately analyze the underlying logic of algorithmic domination. Adopting a method of “theoretical-empirical dialogue”, this study provides new empirical support for the interpretation of classic critical theory in the digital age, and offers an analytical perspective with both theoretical and practical value for addressing the predicament of reification and reconstructing labor subjectivity.
