Abstract

Due to the development of the modern Enlightenment Movement, the capitalist industrial society is highly developed, and science and technology are alienated into a means of political rule. Alienated science and technology lead to the formation of a totalitarian society, which transforms the society into a unidimensional one, and makes people living in this society become unidimensional. It is Marcuse’s philosophical reflection and criticism on the influence of the alienation of science and technology on politics, economy, culture and other fields that lead him to establish his theory of the alienation of science and technology. Studying Marcuse’s theory of the alienation of science and technology will help us better understand and implement the goals set by the 19th CPC National Congress in establishing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
