"四因说"视角下生态危机与消费异化的同一性问题探究
Exploring identity between ecological crisis and consumption alienation from perspective of Four Causes theory
摘要
Abstract
Since the mid-20th century,economic,social,and environmental problems have intertwined under the logic of capital.Among them,ecological crisis and consumption alienation profoundly reflect the organic interaction among capital,nature,and society,which deeply reflect the dual alienation of nature and society in modern capitalist society as well as the internal unity of human alienation and world alienation.Therefore,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to re-examine the complex interaction between ecological crisis and consumption alienation from the critical context of Marxist political economy.Taking Aristotle's Four Causes theory as an analytical framework,this paper analyzes the homogeneity of ecological crisis and consumption alienation in terms of material,formal,efficient,and final causes.By revealing the deep-seated reasons,action mechanisms,and governance dilemmas of the metabolic rift between man and nature under the logic of capital,it further expounds on the importance and urgency of constructing a community of life for man and nature.This paper shows that in the social-ecological system of capitalism,the homogeneity of ecological crisis and consumption alienation is manifested in the following aspects:in terms of the material cause,both man and nature have become the factors of production of capitalism involved in capital accumulation and value proliferation,which serve as the basis of their homogeneity;its efficient cause is jointly shaped by the accelerated operation of production and consumption treadmill driven by the logic of capital;its final cause lies in the misplacement of ecological values and the deviation of consumption meanings under the dual control of man and nature in capitalist society;in the aspect of formal cause,it is manifested in the metabolic rift between man and nature,that is,the irreparable rifts between men and between man and the external world,which is the final result of the homogeneity of the two.It has been proved that the conflict between man and nature and the contradiction between production and consumption ultimately stem from the opposition and contradiction among humans,all of which are rooted in the capitalist system.However,capitalism cannot fundamentally extricate itself from the dual dilemma of ecological crisis and consumption alienation.In this case,reshaping a better human ecological civilization in a socialist ecological civilization that emphasizes ecological justice and sustainable social development has become the right and necessary way to build a community of life for man and nature and to achieve the dual liberation of man and nature.关键词
