Technological Practice:Philosophical Perspective and Its Evolution

Traditional philosophy represented by Aristotle equals practice to moral practice.As a result,technological practice is excluded from human beings' practical activities.Although Kant clearly distinguishes technological practice from moral practice and reveals that they follow some universal rules,he eventually fails to unify the two.Hegel analyzes human beings' entire practice by integrating moral practice and technological practice;however,he replaces mankind's perceptual practice with abstract rationality,which is still confined to the pattern of traditional philosophy.Based on the human's realistic existence,Karl Marx regards technological practice as a fundamental form of practice and affirms its basic status in human beings' practical activities.Therefore,he establishes a holistic view of practice from the perspective of dialectical materialism and fulfills a real unification of technical practice and moral practice,and theory and practice.
