《管子》的“侈靡”观及其现代价值

Outlook on Luxury in Guanzi and Its Modern Value

如何看待现今的侈靡(奢侈)消费,侈靡消费的经济价值与伦理价值是否“二律背反”,值得深思。此外,侈靡消费过程中所遇到的价值难题提示我们有必要进一步认识侈靡的度、方式、条件、对象以及侈靡与节俭的关系等问题。对此,我们可以从首开侈靡消费之先河的《管子》那里得到些许启示,并通过历史与现实结合的维度理解侈靡消费观的现实价值。

It is worthwhile to think about the modern outlook on luxury and the question whether the e-conomic value and ethical value of the luxurious consumption are contraditory to each other needs contemplating. Moreover,the value problem in the luxurious consumption process shows to us that it is necessary to further understand degree, method, condition and object of luxury and relation between luxury and frugality. We can get some enlightenment from Guanzi,a pioneer in luxury consumption and understand the practical value of luxurious consumption on the basis of the combination of history and modern reality.
