Abstract

The new technological revolution is a profound social change in human history. However, capital's pursuit of economic interests has caused the alienation and even dissolution of workers' subjectivity. Applying the analytical perspective of Marxist political economy, this paper focuses on the reality of eliminating workers' alienation in the era of the new technological revolution and argues that the new technological revolution provides both an opportunity and a new hidden danger of subjectivity for solving the crisis of workers' subjectivity alienation. The conclusion of this paper is that in order to solve the new hidden problems of workers' subjectivity reversion in the era of new technological revolution and maximize the opportunities in the era of new technological revolution, the government, enterprises and society should follow the "Human-Oriented" approach and reasonably guide the relationship between workers and technology, so that workers can become the masters of technology and participants of the development and progress of the era. To maximize the awareness of individual subjectivity, promote the integration of themselves with technological development, eliminate alienation, and realize the awakening and reversion of workers' subjectivity
