摘要:

马尔库塞的“单向度的社会”理论深刻揭示了技术理性过度发展导致的社会活力丧失现象,其“向度”思维为构建社会治理新形态提供了理论启示。时间与空间是社会治理的两大基本要素,前者体现为社会形态、治理目标、治理过程的历时性变化,后者强调社会在物质形态、观念表达、组织机制等方面的结构性特征。技术分别通过“时空压缩”与“时空拓展”效应对社会的时间或空间向度进行降维或升维,影响社会秩序或活力。“单向度的社会”是技术的价值理性缺失、时空压缩效应过度彰显的体现,实质体现了“压缩式治理”模式。传统社会治理在很大程度过于依赖技术的时空压缩效应,在缓解规模治理带来的巨大治理负荷,强调追求治理效率。随着社会治理的日益复杂与科技革命加快到来,应充分发挥制度优势、持续加强价值引领,以推动技术向善,辩证拆解时空要素,最大程度发挥技术的时空压缩与时空拓展效应的积极作用,在“有拓有缩、拓缩渗透、以拓为要、灵敏转换”中实现立体化治理的新形态。

Abstract:

As an emerging paradigm in the evolution of social governance, the Chinese governance model reflects both the universal contradictions arising from technological rationalization in modernity and the distinctive Chinese characteristics shaped by institutional superiority and practical innovations. Herbert Marcuse's one-dimensional society theory reveals the mechanisms through which technological domination suppresses social complexity through temporal-spatial compression. His dimensional thinking provides theoretical inspiration for constructing three-dimensional governance. Temporality manifests in dynamic processes including social morphology evolution, governance target alignment, and cyclical operational mechanisms, whereas spatiality embodies structural features such as material configurations, conceptual expressions, and organizational hierarchies. Through the dual effects of temporal-spatial compression (homogenizing governance elements to enhance efficiency) and temporal-spatial expansion (activating pluralistic social vitality), technology reconstructs social order while simultaneously imposing risks of administrative alienation and social fragmentation. Globally, traditional governance models predominantly employ temporal-spatial compression to mitigate large-scale governance burdens, often at the cost of diminishing value rationality and breeding mechanical governance patterns. Confronting escalating governance complexity and technological revolution, China's approach emphasizes multidimensional temporal-spatial dialectics under socialist institutional advantages. By strategically integrating institutional optimization, value guidance, and technological virtuousness, China is pioneering a Multi-dimensional Governance framework characterized by “compression-expansion coordination, dimensional permeability, expansion prioritization, and dynamic equilibrium maintenance,” effectively reconciling efficiency-demanding order maintenance and diversity-driven vitality stimulation. This governance innovation presents a pathway for mitigating the dimensional compression challenges observed in modernization, while simultaneously providing conceptual resources rooted in Chinese institutional praxis to navigate beyond the constraints of One-dimensional Governance paradigms prevalent in our intelligence-driven epoch.

Key words: multi-dimensional governance, social governance, temporal-spatial dimension, technological embeddedness
