Abstract: The interaction between technology and capital is both a driving force for the development of modern society and the very root of modernity. It is believed that there exists a logical integration between technology and capital. The essence of modern technology dominates modern science, which consequently has become a model function and form of technological essence. Hence, modern science is endowed with technological essence, represented by accuracy, quantification, predictability, high efficiency and the power of “Bestellen” via technology. The essence of capital is embodied by such natural attributes as proliferation and expansion movement and such social attributes as social relations and social power. The logical integration between technology and capital consists in the fact that technological essence of modern science fits well with capital proliferation, and the consistency of will control and technical power are the dominant force and pattern of capital power.

Key words: technology, capital, logial integration
