生态对消费的战争——福斯特对资本主义消费方式的批判

The War between Ecology and Consumption:John Bellamy Foster Animadverted on Capitalist Consumption Pattern

福斯特认为资本主义消费方式倡导的社会生活方式,使人在消费中处于受动地位,受控于消费主义的意识形态,从而导致消费异化。资本主义消费方式对全球生态危机负有不可推卸的责任,它对资源的掠夺性消费给全球生态带来灾难。在它的意识形态主导下,人们以消费主义为价值取向,忽视了生态环境的保护。资本主义消费方式根源于它的生产方式,消除它的危害必须变革生产方式,建立生态社会主义;意识形态上,须消除消费主义的危害,倡导可持续消费。福斯特对资本主义制度的批判相当深刻,但他把具有全球性的生态危机,单纯归结为资本主义制度或消费方式造成的,未免偏颇。

John Bellamy Foster considered the social lifestyle that the capitalist consumption pattern advocated made people be immersed in passiveness status in consumption and controlled by the ideology of consumerism,which then alienated people＇s consumption.The capitalist consumption pattern should bear responsibility for the global ecological crisis.Dominated by its ideology,people tent to use the Consumerism as them value criterion,while ignore eco-environmental protection.The capitalism＇s Consumption Pattern rooted in its production mode.If we want to eliminate its imperilment,we should change the production mode,and buildup Ecological Socialism.We should also clear up the danger from the ideology of Consumerism,and advocate sustainable consumption.Foster＇s criticism is profound,while noting that ecological crisis is a global challenge,it is biased to attribute all to Capitalism.
