消费主义与可持续发展观的冲突分析

Analysis of the Conflict between Consumerism and the Sustainable Development Concept

消费主义作为经济全球化和西方消费社会的主流价值观,与可持续发展观构成现代社会经济发展中的一种二律背反,突出体现在环保、发展可持续性以及人的全面发展诸方面的尖锐冲突。这些冲突表现出以消费主义为主导的当代资本主义发展观在人与自然、人与社会以及物质文明与精神文明诸关系上不利于可持续发展的严重缺陷,实质上是以物为中心的发展观与以人为中心的发展观的冲突。

As a dominating value in the economic globalization and the western consuming society, consumerism forms a couple of contradictory laws together with the sustainable development in the development of the modern economy. In essence, these conflicts are the ones between material-oriented developing concept and people-oriented developing concept.
