摘要
从评价性的角度考察消费文化,其价值有两方面的含义:首先是它与经济价值的创造有关;其二是它与一般价值问题的联系。这两个方面相互关联。消费需要靠生产来维持,而生产若是要维持挥霍性的消费,则可能带来严重的环境灾难,这同时也就是人类的灾难。在消费中提倡一种对自然、对地球家园的负责任的"消费伦理",换言之,唤醒消费者的责任意识,于是便提上了当今消费文化研究的议事日程。
This essay thinks of value in the double sense of： a） the relation of consumer cuhure to economics, to worth and value creation; b） the way consumer culture relates to value questions in general： to what is deemed to be socially and culturally valued （values and ‘needs＇） and the basis of the good life, which are reciprocally interlinked. Consumption needs production, but if it is too demanding, i.e., it becomes wasteful, that would cost disastrously both to nature and finally to man. Therefore, the ethics of consumption, the essence of which is a responsible attitude toward nature and the planet where we live, should be put into the agenda of consumer culture, called for and practiced.
