Is Marx Not A Technological Determinist?——And Our Viewpoint on the Paper Written by LIU Li

To the viewpoint in the paper written by Liu Li that Marx is not a technological determinist, the paper makes a different argue: firstly, in Marx's opinion, it was the technology instead of the market demands that determined the rise and development of capitalism in the Western Europe. Secondly, Marx maintains that a form of society is determined by the developmental level of technology, that is say, the society must adapt to its technology situation. Furthermore, this paper suggests that the viewpoint of the technological determinist being the opposite of dialectical reasoning is very wrong.
