我国正逐渐步入消费社会,如何从经济学和伦理学角度来看待和应对消费社会中出现的新情况和新问题成为我们新的时代课题。西方马克思主义对于消费社会批判理论影响甚远,他们采用了不同的分析和批判路径,对消费社会进行了批判性反思,对我们具有启发意义。只有看清消费社会中消费从实用层次走向象征层次的变化,认真审视和批判消费社会出现的诸种不合理现象,才能使人们摆脱消费异化,过上健康积极的生活。 As China is gradually entering the consumer society, how to treat and respond to new situations and new problems emerging in the consumer society from the perspective of economics and ethics has become our new era issue. Western Marxism has a far-reaching influence on the critical theory of consumer society. They adopted a different analytical and critical path and conducted a critical reflection on the consumer society, which is enlightening for us. Only by seeing the changes in the consumption society from the practical level to the symbolic levels and conscientiously examining and criticizing the various unreasonable phenomena that have taken place in the consumer society can people get rid of the alienation of consumption and lead a healthy and active life.
