反思物质需求:无限还是有限

Introspection on Material Needs: Unlimited or Limited

认为“人的物质需求是无限的”这种观点 ,无论在理论上或实践上都遇到了难以解决的问题。必须批判地反思人的物质需求无限的观念 ,确立人的物质需求有限的观念。在此基础上 ,认真研究人的需求的质和量 ,设计合理的需求构成 ,是建设现代人合理的、可持续的生存方式的首要前提。

The concept that“human beings have unlimited material needs” should be critically examined again since it is being severely challenged both in theory and in practice. The author suggests that a concept of limited needs be set up and the quality and quantity of human needs be studied. A rational design of human needs based on this study is the prerequisite of sustainable life style for the modern man.
