炫耀性消费的生态批判

Ecological Critique of Conspicuous Consumption

炫耀性消费已经成为生态危机的肇因。人类难以摆脱炫耀性消费的根本原因在于其能够虚幻地满足人对自由的需求。阻止生态危机爆发的出路在于停止一切炫耀性消费,而这需要人类社会进行一场价值观革命,把人的尊严从对物的消费转移到人际关系本身上来,以生态性公共精神展现人的自由与平等:建构生态性共同体、实现生态化消费。

Conspicuous consumption has brought enormous ecological pressure.The reason why human feel it hard to be free from the yoke of conspicuous consumption is that it can satisfy the illusion of freedom. In order to prevent the conspicuous consumption and protect the biosphere, human society needs a civilization revolution to shift our dignity from consumption to interpersonal relationship with the freedom and equality in the public spirit of ecology,i.e, to establish an ecological community with ecological consumption.
