Abstract:
In terms of capitalist institutions, Marcuse states the relationship between science and technology and crisis in ecological environment, and especially the view that human rule over humans is derived from human rule over nature. His statements reveal the original relationship between the Frankfurt School and the ecological Marxism. Meanwhile, by energetically criticizing scientific and technological totalitarianism, he turns from technological criticism to social criticism, laying a foundation for ecological Marxism. However, his description of unification between artificial and technological rationality and ideological and artistic rationality lacks a subject-based practical process, hence a prominent utopian character.
