Abstract: Lukács is well known for criticizing capitalist society with the theory of reification. With the social changes， the concept of reification was once ignored. Since Honneth reintroduced Lukács's concept of reification in the contemporary era and further explained it as the forgetting of recognition， reification， as the core topic of this era， has attracted renewed attention. Feenberg assessed Honneth's contribution to the theory of reification and reinterpreted Lukács's concept of reification by combining reification with technical criticism. Honneth and Feenberg re-mentioned Lukacs's reification theme in Frankfurt School's critical theory tradition， which has not only promoted the contemporary study of Lukács's theory of reification， but also highlighted the status of reification theme in Frankfurt School's critical theory， and also helped people to reflect on the phenomenon of reification in contemporary society.
