消费伦理的现实性质疑

本文通过对伦理与道德的词源学考察提出了“消费”与“伦理”的结合所可能存在的词语矛盾。尽管现代消费社会通过对消费的重新阐释消解了消费伦理的矛盾性,并从道德的正当性与经济的合理性两个方面设定了消费伦理存在的可能性,但在实践中消费伦理却并没有获得充分的现实性。本文通过对消费伦理存在的现实性的三种质疑,试图以否定的方式来完善消费伦理的理论建构。

Doubting the Practicability of Consumption Ethics

This article, by means of etymological studies of "ethics" and "morality" , puts forward that the combination of "consumption" with "ethics" may contradict each other. Though, by reinterpreting the meaning of consumption , modern consumer society has dispelled the contradictory nature of consumption ethics, and, by arguing the correctness of morality and reasonableness of the economy, supposed the possible existence of consumption ethics, yet in practice, consumption ethics has not gained its adequate practicability. By raising three doubts on the practicable existence of consumption ethics, this article tries improving the theoretical framework of consumption ethics in a negative way.
