  • [Chinese abstract not available] The formation of Fromm’s alienation consumption theory has its profound ideological basis and profound social practice needs. Fromm’s critical inheritance of Hegel’s concept of alienation, Marx’s thought of alienated labor and Freud’s thought of psychoanalysis, timely sublation of Baudrillard’s thought of alienated consumption, and reasonable reference to ecological Marxism’s thought of alienated consumption show the pluralism of his theory of alienated consumption. The logic of capitalist capital and the principle of pursuing profit as well as the reality that human beings are controlled by things and become talking machines in capitalist society are the fundamental reasons for the emergence of alienated consumption. Fromm pays attention to the interpretation of the theory of alienated consumption from the psychological and spiritual dimension and makes an incisive summary of its various manifestations in reality. Fromm focused on the analysis of the reasons for the formation of alienated consumption: one is that the needs of people’s own living environment can not be satisfied; the second is the lack of social life security. Fromm also provides solutions to the problem of alienation consumption that is constructing a harmonious relationship between society and ecology, shaping sound personality psychology and appealing to ecological ethics of humanism. Fromm’s theory of alienated consumption deeply discloses the disadvantages and harms of consumerism and reveals the internal psychological factors of alienated consumption subjects. However, his theory overemphasizes the irrational factors of social development and has a utopian tendency in the assumption of the practice scheme of alienated consumption. It still has reference value for the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era to correct consumption concept, advocate ecological consumption mode, control delusion and selfish desire, and establish healthy consumption concept.
