Cybersophy: A New Theoretical Horizon for Marxist Philosophy in the Digital Age

This paper argues that Marxist philosophy is undergoing a theoretical turn towards digital philosophy in response to the digital transformation of social being, social consciousness and social relations. It contends that human practice now unfolds within a cyber-physical-social-thinking quadruple dialectical space, in which cyberspace has become an ontologically significant field rather than a mere technical extension. On this basis, the article proposes Cybersophy as a fourth guiding principle that supplements worldview, life outlook, and values. It reconstructs Marxist philosophy at two levels, namely core domains such as epistemology, ethics, ontology, and axiology, and meta theoretical categories concerning the relation between the virtual and the real and an upgraded complex systems dialectics. By introducing concepts including digital practice, distributed cognition, platform power, digital alienation, and digital emancipation, Cybersophy offers a framework for critically and normatively orienting life in the digital age.
