马克思的技术批判与未来社会
作者简介:孙周兴,同济大学人文学院教授(上海 200092)
摘要: 尽管有过种种历史性的误解和遮蔽,但马克思哲学以及马克思主义哲学仍然属于现代/当代世界最强有力的哲学思潮。这种持久而强大的影响力充分表明马克思哲学具有直面当下、指向未来的内在品质。本文着眼于技术哲学,特别是以“现代技术与未来文明”为主题,试图探讨马克思在现代技术哲学史上的开创性意义,以及与此相关的,马克思围绕“异化劳动”来开展的资本社会批判与他的技术批判之间的本质性关联,最后试图通过展望由现代技术规定的未来新文明方向,来重解马克思的共产主义理想。今天以人工智能和生物技术为核心的现代技术,正在加速推动人类身体和精神的双重技术化(非自然化),从而会在不久的将来形成一种新的人类形态和文明样式,后者将有可能接近于马克思所设想和论证的未来社会理想。

Abstract: Although there were various historical misunderstanding and covering, Marx’s philosophy and Marxist philosophy is still the most powerful philosophical trend in the world in modern and current times. This everlasting and powerful influence fully demonstrates that Marx’s philosophy has its innate quality directly facing present days and the days to come. The author focuses upon the philosophy of technology, especially taking " modern technology and future civilization” as the theme of this article, tries to probe the path-finding significance of Karl Marx in the philosophical history of modern technology, as well as to explain an essential relationship between the criticism of capital society around " alienated labor” and his critique of technology and, finally, to re-explain Marx’s ideal of communism by trying to expect a future direction of new civilization defined by modern technology. Today, the modern technology with AI and biological technique as its core is accelerating in promoting a double-technology, i.e., the non-natural, of human body and soul, resulting in forming a new human phase and a new mode of civilization in the not-far future. The latter will be possible to approach a future ideal society designed and proofed by Karl Marx.
