Abstract: In the modern society, technology is increasingly embedded in human body and they are inseparable. Technologized body, a brand-new form of subject, derives from the interaction between technology and body. Its aesthetic significance lies in the blooming of human nature as well as the freedom pursuit of human beings. At the same time, the aesthetic appreciation of technologized body has been alienated during its developing process, and it has been put into the predicament of the pursuit of instrumental tendency, the aim of symbolic tendency and the guidance of capitalization tendency. Discussing the nature of technological beauty and critically analyzing the aesthetic predicament through technologized body is of benefit to provide in-depth philosophical thinking for the healthy development of its aesthetic appreciation.

Key words: technologized body, instrument, symbol, capital, aesthetic appreciation
