在马克思生活的年代里,他亲身经历了机器技术所引起的资本主义社会的巨大变化。随着资本主义的发展,资产阶级不断发展壮大,资本家对工人的剥削也日益加深。在资本主义大环境下,机器作为技术最主要的表现形式,却成了资本家剥削工人、榨取剩余价值的手段。以《资本论》为代表,马克思从经济学的角度开始了对机器的研究,并揭示了资本主义生产的实质。 In the days of Marx’s life, he experienced first-hand the enormous changes in capitalist society caused by machine technology. With the development of capitalism, the bourgeoisie has continuously developed and expanded, and exploitation of workers by capitalists has also deepened. Under the capitalist environment, machinery, as the most important manifestation of technology, has become a means by which capitalists exploit workers and extract surplus value. With Capital as the representative, Marx started the study of machines from an economic point of view and revealed the essence of capitalist production.
