还“人手的产物”之本源——兼评拜金主义

Resuming the original nature of "the product of human being" —— A concurrent commentary on Money Worship

金钱作为财富的象征、交换的手段和计量价值的标准 ,是人类社会发展的必然产物。但自从有了金钱 ,人类就开始了自我异化的历史。对金钱的迷恋和崇拜使人类的奴性地位达到了极端。我们越是试图通过过去的透镜来形成关于金钱的概念 ,我们对金钱的理解就越是似是而非。今天的金钱已经被重新改造 ,从一种满足欲望的媒介变成了所有欲望的目的。作为“人手的产物”反倒成了人类的上帝 ,无疑是人类历史的悲哀 ,还金钱之本来面目就成为历史的必然。

Money, being perceived as the symbol of wealth, means of exchange and standard of calculating value, is the inevitable product in the development of human being. However, since money existed, human started to dissimilate history. Infatuation and worship to money led people's servility to an extreme degree. As we probe into the concept of money through the former transparent mirror, the understanding about money we hold becomes more specious. Today money has been changed again, from a kind of medium satisfying desires to the purpose of all desires. There is no doubt that it is the sadness of human being in history when 'the product of human being' turns into the God of human being. It is doomed to resume the original nature of money.
