Marxovo pojetí mašinérie

Abstract

Marx's analysis of machinery anticipates the thoughts of 20. century's philosophers concerning technology, machines, and the human relation to them. The working process expresses the conversion of the material as well as the human sphere into the process of the machinery, which substitutes the traditionally metaphysical function of "the Being" granting the meaning to each and every single being (some-thing). Supposing that the metaphysical notion of "Being" has to demonstrate a temporal structure, the machinery itself must also indicate a realization of this structure. While Marx's notion of "Being" in the meaning of "work" is suggesting the main feature of "effectivity", the analysis of the machinery reveals the character of Power and Hegemony. Thus, Marx's secularized metaphysics is alluding possible significant semblance to Nietzsche's basic notion of the Will to Power as the last metaphysical concept of "Being" in western tradition.
