Consumption is a human activity that is associated with the emergency of the commodity.Both the primitive barter and the exchange that is now based on money are the consumption behavior of people.So consumption always occupies an important position in people's production and everyday life.In an extensively materialized modern society,on the one hand,the consumption activity satisfies people's desire for demand,on the other hand,it also brings some negative impact on our life.With the rapid development of science and technology,the production and consumption capacity of human society has been greatly released.As a result,consumption idea also changes.People are no longer satisfied with the need for basic living,and they pursue the false demand.Alienation is the result.In the capitalist society,alienation is the first to expand from the production field to the consumption field,and the problem of Consumption Alienation is regarded as the most prominent forms of alienation in today's society.In China,with reform and open policy and the improvement of living standards,people's consumption behavior also appear some alienation phenomenon,such as unrestrained beer and skittles,comparisons with each other.These phenomenon hinder the formation of good green consumption pattern,which is not conducive to the stable development of individuals and countries,and has caused great damage to the survival and development of China's contemporary and even future generations.Ecological Marxism is a genre of Contemporary Western Marxism.The theory of“Consumption Alienation ” is the important theory that Ecological Marxist scholars analyze the ecological crisis from the perspective of consumption and the additional development theory of Marxism.Consumption Alienation is contrary to the essence of consumption and it is a phenomenon that the laborer is dedicated to the acquisition of goods in order to compensate for his alienate labor.At the same time,Consumption Alienation weakens people's subjectivity by controlling consumption behavior.As an object,the production of goods is excessive,which causes the waste and great harm to the subject and object.The thesis mainly consists of five parts.The introduction mainly explains the significance of the research and the current research status;The second chapter makes a certain exploration on the source and process of the theory of Consumption Alienation;The third chapter mainly illustrates the connotation of Consumption Alienation.At the same time,from the point of view of representative,it dissects the criticism of ConsumptionAlienation,reflects on the capitalist system and thinks about ecological socialism;The fourth chapter summarizes the current consensus of the theory of Consumption Alienation and the limitations of the development process;The last chapter focuses on the analysis of reference value from the current theory of Consumption Alienation to China's consumption pattern green transformation,and provides the theoretical guidance for China's modernization construction.The theory of "Consumption Alienation" in Ecological Marxism has put forward many new views on the development of current society.To some extent,it will not only help enrich the Marxist philosophy theory,but also criticize capitalism from a new angle.We should take the correct view,try to overcome Consumption Alienation,and make full use of this theory to provide solutions to the existing consumption problems in Chin.Finally it can help solve the global ecological crisis.
