N2 - 美国黑人女作家托尼•莫里森一直以来都关怀、同情黑人妇女这一边缘群体,并关注黑人女性在充斥着父权制和种族歧视的社会中的命运。在其2003年发表的小说《爱》中,莫里森展示了历史、种族、性别等诸多因素作用下维系黑人民族的最基本的情感-爱,并以爱的扭曲与复原为主线探讨并指出:黑人家庭和社区中诸多矛盾的解决都需要爱的力量。本论文以心理学家弗洛姆和罗杰斯的理论为依据,探讨了畸形之爱产生的原因及解决的方法。首先,论文通过分析《爱》中畸形之爱的表现形式,如畸形的母女关系、黑人女性之间失败的友谊以及畸形的婚姻,展示了黑人女性的边缘化地位。在小说《爱》中,种族歧视和父权制使人与人的关系发生扭曲。爱的异化使深厚的母女感情和纯真的友谊演变为彼此间的敌对和仇恨,婚姻也在这种力量的催化下摇摇欲坠。其次,论文探讨《爱》中畸形之爱产生的原因。父母之爱缺失的转移、人性弱点的投射和父权种族主义的压抑共同产生作用,使原本美好的爱扭曲变形。最后,论文为黑人女性走出畸形之爱指明一条道路。罗杰斯认为人性本善,有自我实现的发展潜力;他创立的当事人中心疗法主张:要真心关怀当事人的感情,在真诚和谐的关系中启发当事人运用自我发展潜力促进自身的健康成长,增强自信心。而在小说《爱》中,黑人女性个体和社区充当的就是心理治疗师的角色。基于以上分析,论文认为:异化的爱虽具极强的摧毁力,但爱作为黑人民族凝聚力的象征,在黑人女性个体和黑人社区的共同努力下得以回归。 N2 - Tony Morrison, a black woman writer in the United States, has always cared and sympathized with the marginalized group of black women and paid attention to the fate of black women in a society full of patriarchy and racial discrimination. In her novel >Love< published in 2003, Morrison showed the most basic emotion-love of the black people under the influence of history, race, gender and other factors, and discussed and pointed out the distortion and restoration of love. The resolution of many contradictions in black families and communities requires the power of love. Based on the theories of psychologists Fromm and Rogers, this thesis explores the causes and solutions of deformed love.– First, the paper demonstrates the marginalization of black women by analyzing the manifestations of deformed love in >Love<, such as the deformed mother-daughter relationship, the failed friendship between black women, and the deformed marriage. In the novel Love, racial discrimination and patriarchy distorted the relationship between people. The alienation of love has transformed the deep mother-daughter relationship and innocent friendship into mutual hostility and hatred. Marriage is also faltering under the catalysis of this power.– Secondly, the paper explores the causes of deformed love in Love. The loss of parental love, the projection of human weakness, and the suppression of patriarchal racism work together to distort the original good love.– Finally, the paper points out a way for black women to get out of deformed love. Rogers believes that human nature is good and has the potential for self-realization; he founded the party center therapy advocate: to truly care for the feelings of the parties, to inspire the parties to use their self-development potential to promote their healthy growth and enhance self-confidence in a sincere and harmonious relationship. In the novel Love, black female individuals and communities act as psychotherapists.– Based on the above analysis, the paper argues that although alienated love is extremely powerful, love is a symbol of the cohesiveness of the black people, and it is backed by the joint efforts of black women and black communities.

N2 - 消费在人类的生活中扮演着十分重要的角色,消费把人与人、人与物密切地联系起来。在异化的消费中,消费成了目的自身,即人类为了消费而消费。本文以本•阿格尔的异化消费理论为研究对象,本•阿格尔是生态学马克思主义的主要代表人物,他在继承与发展威廉•莱易斯生态学马克思主义的基础上,逐步建立了自己的异化消费理论体系。本•阿格尔的异化消费理论,以马克思的异化劳动思想,马尔库塞的>虚假需求<理论,弗洛姆的异化思想以及莱易斯的生态危机思想为理论渊源。在他看来,异化消费是一种独特的消费现象,是工人为摆脱劳动中缺少自我表达之自由而进行的消费行为。与此同时,他认为马克思所言经济危机已经不符合对于资本主义社会危机的分析,因为资本主义社会并未出现马克思所说的社会革命,反而是消费领域出现的生态危机将代替经济危机成为新的社会危机。异化消费行为既有积极影响也有消极影响,最严重的消极影响莫过于异化消费造成了生态危机。为了克服异化消费、解决生态危机,阿格尔提出两个解决路径,一个是>期望破灭了的辩证法<,另一个是通过实行分散化和非官僚化来改造资本主义工业社会。这两个方法分别从个人以及工业生产的维度直接或间接地解决异化消费问题。本•阿格尔的异化消费理论虽然丰富和发展了生态学马克思主义,但同样存在理论上的不足,这一点需要辩证地看待。就其实践意义而言,它对>美丽中国<建设起到积极的指导作用。这一理论告诉我们,只有树立正确的消费理念、秉持健康的消费方式、形成积极的生态观念,才能实现人自身的和谐发展,以及经济与生态环境的全面协调可持续发展。 N2 - Consumption has played an important role in human life, which established connections between people, between people and objects. However, in the alienated one, it has been the end in itself, namely, the purpose of human consumption is for nothing but itself. The study object in this thesis was the Consumption Alienation Theory from Ben Agger, a main representative of Ecological Marxism, who has established his own theoretical system gradually on the basis of Ecological Marxism of William Leiss. Regarding the Alienated Labor Thought of Marx, False Need Theory of Herbert Marcuse, Fromm’s Idea of Alienation and the Ecological Crisis Thought of William Leiss as the theoretical basis, Ben Agger established the Consumption Alienation Theory. As far as he was concerned, alienated consumption is a unique consumption phenomenon, which is another kind of consumption behavior from the workers to show that they were eager to express themselves freely. Meanwhile, he thought the economic crisis argued by Karl Marx has not met analysis of the capitalist social crisis. Because the social revolution raised by Marx did not appear in the capitalist society. Instead, the ecological crisis arisen in the consumer sector would replace the economic crisis and be the social crisis. Alienated consumption behavior has both a positive influence and a negative effect. The most serious negative effect would be that the alienated consumption has caused ecological crisis. In order to overcome the alienated consumption and solve the ecological crisis, two solutions were put forward by Agger. One is disillusioned dialectics, and the other is to transform the capitalist industrial society through decentralization and non-bureaucratization. These two methods solve the problem of alienated consumption directly or indirectly from the dimension of individual and industrial production. Although the alienated consumption from Ben Agger enriched and developed the Ecological Marxism, there were also many deficiencies in theory, however, this should be treated dialectically. In terms of its practical significance, it would play a guiding role on the construction of Beautiful China. According to this theory, the harmonious development of human beings and the comprehensive and sustainable development of economy and ecological environment would be realized by establishing the correct consumption concept, adopting healthy consumption pattern and forming a positive ecological concept.

N2 - 美国犹太裔心理学家弗洛姆有一部名著《逃避自由》,大意是说,人们对自由的态度近似>叶公好龙<,说起来人人都向往自由,骨子里人们却逃避自由。因为自由意味着自我选择,而自我选择就得自我担当,要想享受自由的快乐,就得承担自由的责任。现在社会的功利心越来越重,人们只追求结果,至于过程则可以省略;人们都向往自由,却不愿承担过程的责任和艰辛。 N2 - The American Jewish psychologist Fromm has a famous book, >Escape from Freedom<, which says that people's attitude toward freedom is similar to that of a >good dragon<, that everyone aspires to freedom, but at heart people avoid it. Because freedom means self-choice, and self-choice has to be self-responsibility, to enjoy the joy of freedom, you have to take the responsibility of freedom. Nowadays, society is becoming more and more utilitarian, people only pursue results, and the process can be omitted; people aspire to freedom, but do not want to bear the responsibility and hardship of the process.

N2 - 弗洛姆的人道主义伦理学是以人性为规范的道德理论。在弗洛伊德的精神分析学说和马克思社会批判理论的双重奠基之上,弗洛姆揭示了>社会内在伦理学<与>普遍的伦理学<之间的巨大差异,批判资本主义社会的异化现实,从而对人性的道德以及现实中人的自由境况做出了伦理剖析。一方面,弗洛姆把人性的道德寄托于精神健康的个人与健全的社会之间辩证的实践关系之中,认为人的性格与社会性格之间存在固有关联;另一方面,弗洛姆将爱的实践视为现实的道德实践,将人性的道德寄托于爱的艺术,从而以爱为出发点来辩证地探寻人道主义社会的可能性。弗洛姆最终将实现普遍的伦理学的希望寄托于社会主义,但是由于其道德理论在本质上坚持了一种抽象的人性论,因而难免蒙上一种形而上学的乌托邦色彩。 N2 - Fromm's humanist ethics is a moral theory that takes human nature as the norm. On the basis of Freud's psychoanalysis and Marx's social criticism theory, Fromm reveals the great difference between >social inner ethics< and >universal ethics<, criticizes the alienated reality of capitalist society, and thus makes an ethical analysis of the morality of human nature and the real situation of human freedom. On the one hand, Fromm places the morality of human nature in the dialectical practical relationship between the spiritually healthy individual and the healthy society, and believes that there is an inherent connection between human character and social character; on the other hand, Fromm regards the practice of love as a realistic moral practice, and places the morality of human nature in the art of love, thus taking love as the starting point to dialectically explore the possibility of a humanitarian society. Fromm ultimately places his hope for a universal ethics in socialism, but because his moral theory adheres to an abstract theory of human nature, it is inevitably tainted with a metaphysical utopia.

Using the movie >Her< as an example, I explain why an ideal love is extremely difficult to attain under the guidance of the Platonic and Frommian ideals. In an imperfect love, to leave or to stay seems to be a question with no simple answer.

N2 - The >Buddhist< culture itself, as a subculture, is usually characterized by the coexistence of rationality and sensibility and the coexistence of aggressiveness and anxiety. The choice of “Buddhist” life for college students is an escape to a certain extent. They leave their families and come to a relatively free university. A sense of loneliness and powerlessness is generated, which leads them to defend themselves to relieve pressure, thus the psychological phenomenon of >escape from freedom< appears. However, there is a certain pragmatism while escaping. This seemingly free and easy >Buddha system< Mentality actually has a negative impact on the subjective well-being of college students. In Fromm’s view, freedom has dual meanings. These college students who advertise as >Buddhist youth< are in the predicament of freedom. However, in reality, some college students choose to escape from negative freedom to overcome their inner loneliness. This paper analyzes this phenomenon based on Fromm’s >Escape from Freedom<, and attempts to propose a path to achieve positive freedom and help college students pursue positive freedom.

While elaborating on the actual state of human existence, Fromm's humanistic thought critically exposes the social problems caused by the development of productive forces, and fundamentally points out the confusion of human beings, on the basis of which it indicates that we can realize the breakthrough of the state of human beings' gradual dissolution in a certain way, so as to generate a brand-new space for the survival of human beings. In this way, human beings will be able to find their way out of numbness and self-loss, and thus step into the >kingdom of existence<. Fromm's anthropological point of view mainly centers on human nature, including three aspects: human nature, human nature alienation, and human nature liberation. This paper is a brief analysis of this aspect of human nature. Y1 - 2024 ER -
