消费主义的批判与超越

Criticism and Transcendence of Consumerism

消费主义是一种对物质的过分崇拜、占有和追求,并被视为人生目的的价值观念,根源于西方理性主义传统。他以高消费和符号消费为主要特征,瓦解了消费原有的价值和意义。本文从思想政治教育的视域对在一定程度导致人的异化、扩大社会消费的不公平、阻碍人的全面发展、冲击了人的主体地位、否定了劳动的意义等层面进行了批判,并尝试从目的、方式及内容等维度规约消费观以实现对消费主义的超越,进而帮助人们树立起理性、文明、可持续的消费观。

Consumerism,which is rooted in the western rationalist tradition,is a kind of excessive worship of possessions and materials,and is widely regarded as the values of life purpose. Characterized with high consumption and symbols consumption,it breaks down the consumption of the original value and significance. From the perspective of ideological and political education,this article attempts to discuss about the problems the consumerism results in such as the alienation of people from the society,the unfair social consumption,the failure in realizing the all-round development of human beings and an individual's subjectivity,and the denial of the value of labor,etc. Meanwhile,the article aims at realizing the transcendence of consumerism which may help to set up a rational,civilized and sustainable view of consumption.
