Since the reform and opening up,the people in a relatively short period of time from the food and clothing consumption to the enjoyment of consumption changes,personal consumption demand has been greatly met.However,the improvement of the quality of life not only does not reduce people's desire for consumer goods,but also leads to excessive consumption,excessive consumption,blind consumption and other phenomena of consumption alienation in the process of consumption.Based on this,this article through the research on Fromm's thoughts of consumption alienation,combined with the existing problems in the field of China current consumption,put forward scientific and reasonable consumption concept and consumption behavior,for Chinese conditions,effectively avoid western consumption alienation.On the basis of Marx's theory of labor alienation,Fromm criticized the irrational phenomena in capitalist consumption from the angle of social psychology.He thinks that alienation is the consumption itself,consumer behavior of individuals from outside interference,make people become greedy consumption tools,at the same time people endless pursuit of material and cause a series of social and ecological problems.He believes that consumption alienation is the common egoism and capitalism results,so to eliminate the alienation of consumption must proceed from the political,economic,cultural and individual aspects,identifies the root causes of consumption alienation,avoid the alienation of consumption from the source.At present,with the continuous development of China's productivity and the level of science and technology,people's quality of life has increased rapidly,people's consumption demand is also growing,and the rapid growth of consumer demand has gradually become one of the strong momentum of China's economic and social development.But with the rapid growth of consumption desire,there has been a consumption alienation phenomenon similar to Fromm's criticism in the consumption field of our country.At the same time,China still has a serious income gap problem,which objectively aggravates the alienation of consumption.Whether it is extravagant consumption of high-income earners or low-income people's excessive consumption,blind consumption,are facing the tendency of consumption alienation.When people indulge in the pleasure of excessive consumption,they are bound by things,experience false "freedom" and "happiness" in consumption,and gradually lose themselves in the alienation of consumption.According to this,it is of great theoretical value and practical significance to avoid the alienation of consumption in an intensive study of Fromm's consumption alienation theory.This paper mainly through three kinds of method to study the Fromm problem of consumption alienation,is a literature analysis,the study of Marx Marx doctrine and the Western Marxist scholars consumption alienation theory,to provide theoretical support for this study.The two method is a combination of history and logic,the research on consumption alienation theory from the angle of history interpretation of classical writer Marx Marx and the Western Marxist scholars,focuses on the analysis of Fromm about the consumption alienation theory,and reveals the root performance consumption alienation produced extremely influence,summarizes the measures taken to overcome the alienation of consumption.The three is the method of theory and practice,combining Fromm's alienation of consumption theory and the current reality of our country,from the analysis of sociology,ecology,ethics and other point of view,to solve the problem of consumption alienation pointed out,to provide theoretical guidance for the construction of a conservation oriented society in china.Through the above three methods to conduct in-depth study of the western scholars Marx consumption alienation theory,Fromm's thought to the alienation of consumption as the main line,laid the theoretical foundation and the consumption concept for our country to study the problem of consumption alienation.In the era of consumerism,the study of consumption alienation can help people to examine their own consumption concept,and consciously resist consumption alienation.To guide people to be guided by Marx theory,establish the correct scientific concept of consumption,the value of socialist core values play a leading role,in the hearts of people spread the concept of green consumption,and guide our people to rational consumption,promote the construction of a conservation oriented society development in China.
