On Erich Fromm's Criticism to the Modern Western Society [论弗洛姆对现代西方社会的批判]

  • 弗洛姆提出,判断社会是否健全的标准,是看社会能否满足人的基本精神需要,对人的发展是否具有促进作用。他认为现代西方社会尽管有经济的繁荣,但使人发生了严重异化,人变成了商品、机器人,西方社会是一种病态社会。弗洛姆的理论忽视了生产力的发展,对资本主义的批判也是肤浅的,但它对于纠正片面强调经济增长的畸形发展观、确立以人为本的思想具有启发意义,对于正确认识当代资本主义的新变化,使社会主义事业健康发展,具有一定借鉴意义。
  • Erich Fromm put forward that the criteria to judge a sane society was to see whether the society can meet the basic needs of human beings and accelerate the development of human beings. In his point of view, the western society was abnormal in spite of its economic prosperity, which catabolized human and people themselves become commodities and robots. Fromm's theory neglected the development of productive forces and only superficially criticized capitalism. But to some degree it can still serve as a source of inspiration in rectifying the development concept of excessively emphasizing economic growth and in establishing principle of regarding human beings as our basic concern. Fromm's theory can also help us have a correct understanding of the changes of capitalism and avoid some drawbacks of western society, so as to achieve the healthy development of our socialism cause.
