Abstract

As a representative of the Frankfurt School, Marcuse has repeatedly discussed the relationship between technology and freedom. He attributes human alienation to the fact that technological rationality has become a covered ideology in developed industrial society, thus making people lose negativity, transcendence and criticism, and then become 'one-dimensional people '. This paper takes Marcuse's "comfortable non-freedom" as the starting point, and discusses Marcuse's critical theory of technical rationality from three aspects: loss of freedom, paralysis of freedom and return to freedom. It further analyzes how Marcuse reshapes subject freedom and achieves social liberation from the perspective of aesthetics and art.
