现代性视角下中国青年“空心病”的诊断与治疗

The Diagnosis and Treatment of Chinese Youth's Hollow Heart Disease under the Perspective of Modernity

中国由传统社会向现代社会的转型伴生了青年精神领域的"空心病"这一新现象、新问题。"空心病"意指部分青年由于缺乏支撑个体生存与发展的意义系统,以至于无法对自我的生存境遇进行有效解释与应对的一种精神世界的贫瘠状态,它集中反映了这些青年在处理个人与自我、个人与他人,以及个人与社会关系时的多方位失效,具体表征为自我认同度偏低、孤独感与人生无意义感强烈,以及英雄主义情怀的失落。从现代性视角予以诊断,"空心病"源于祛魅引发的传统神圣价值的消退与自我意识的觉醒、价值理性式微与工具理性膨胀之间的冲突以及集体主义衰弱与个人主义强盛之间的撕裂。青年作为"空心病"的主体,可通过建构共享式自我观、恢复被压抑的人类感性,以及增强"抱负"的道德意识等方式尝试性地克服"空心病"。

Accompanying the China’s transition from the traditional society to the modern one,it causes a new phenomenon and new problem called the Hollow Heart Disease in the field of the spirit of youth.The Hollow Heart Disease means a state of spiritual infertility that a youth group cannot explain and deal with the living circumstances of oneself because they lack the meaning system of supporting individual existence and development.It reflects the multiple failure between Chinese youth in dealing with the relationship between the individual and ego,the individual and others,and the individual and society.The main characterization is the low self-acceptance,loneliness,the strong feeling of meaningless life and the loss of heroism.From the perspective of modernity,the Hollow Heart Disease derives from recession of the traditional sacred value and the awakening of self-consciousness caused by disenchantment,the conflict between the declination of the rational value and the inflation of the instrumental rationality and the laceration between the weak collectivism and the strong individualism.As the main part of the Hollow Heart Disease,Chinese youth can tentatively overcome it by the ways of constructing the shared view of ego,recovering the suppressed human feelings and strengthening the moral consciousness of ambition.
