Abstract

The ideology produced by science and technology, due to technological rationality, is the concept that structures great part of the thinking of Herbert Marcuse. The concept of ideology related to science and technology takes part in the contemporary debate retaking a reading of the Grundrisse of 1857-1858 by Marx that develops the concept of automation as a key element to understand the link between science, technology and ideology in a dialectical way, updating the critical function of the latter. We suggest that this crisscrossing between ideology and science, from an assimilation of the criticism of ideologies and the dialectics and the critical theory in Marcuse, allows a joint thinking of epistemology and politics.
