论芬伯格的技术民主理论——对技术霸权的批判与破除

On Feenberg’s Theory of Technological Democracy—Criticism and Destruction of Technological Hegemony

摘要: 在现代社会，技术的发展越来越快，在极大造福于人类的同时，也产生了一定的负作用，使得人们开始对技术进行重新审视。作为法兰克福学派的第三代代表人物之一，芬伯格继承了法兰克福学派对于技术进行批判的基本思路，对在技术领域中形成的霸权进行了批判，进而提出了他的技术民主理论，在学界引起了较大影响。本文试图从芬伯格对传统本质观的批判出发，进而分析芬伯格对技术霸权进行的深刻批判，并且论述他在此基础上所形成的技术民主理论。在其技术民主理论中，他提出了实现技术民主化的具体途径，这一独创性的思想具有重要的意义，为实现技术转化指明了方向，但同时也存在着实际操作上的难题。

As one of the representatives of the third generation of the Frankfurt School, Feenberg inherited the basic thinking of criticizing technology of the Frankfurt School, criticized the hegemony formed in the field of technology, and then put forward his theory of technological democracy, which caused a great influence in the academic circle. This paper attempts to start from Feenberg’s criticism of traditional essence view, then analyze Feenberg’s deep criticism of techno-logical hegemony, and discuss his theory of technological democracy formed on this basis. In his theory of technological democracy, he put forward the concrete way to realize technological democratization, which is of great significance and points out the direction for realizing technological transformation, but at the same time there are practical problems.
