Ecological Marxism: the Conception of Science and Technology in the Dialectical Vision

Ecological Marxism attributes ecological and human alienation in the contemporary capitalist society to the unchecked spread of technological rationality and the irrational application of technology,and severely criticizes this phenomenon.It makes a distinction between the instrumental function and value function of science and technology,and differentiates the nature and practical application of science and technology.Ecological Marxism affirms to a certain extent the motive function of science and technology to the production mode and social development.In short,ecological Marxism holds a dialectic vision of science and technology that is of both affirmation and negation.
