冷漠:日常生活中情感虚无现象的反思

Apathy:A Reflection on Emotional Nihility in Daily Life

冷漠作为现代人的一种稳定的具有特质性的状态,虽然在现代社会之前就已经出现,但当下冷漠在广度和深度两个维度上的蔓延,却与现代社会的变迁密切相关。出现在日常生活中的冷漠现象,是一种深层情感消解的状态。社会分工的精细化以及市场机制的不断发展,为冷漠的蔓延提供了结构背景。社会变迁的加速化,而适应文化没有跟上物质社会变迁的步伐,进一步导致了现代人的价值失落和自我丧失,反映在对外部世界的态度上就是冷漠。现代性不但使人与周围世界的联系越来越远,也造成了人与自我的疏离。重拾自我,保持情感的本真性,也许能为化解冷漠的心态找到出路。

Apathy is a stable and characteristic state of modern people.Although apathy existed before modern society,but its spread both in breadth and depth mainly occurred in modern society.Apathy discussed in this article is a state of mind that dissolves deep emotions.Social division of labor and the market mechanism provide structural background for such apathy.As social change accelerates,cultural change does not keep up with it,which leads to the loss of value and ourselves.Modernity not only generates further alienation of ourselves from the world and but self-alienation.Regaining the self and keeping the authenticity of emotions may offset apathy.
