A Philosophical Analysis Of Symbol Consumption In Contemporary China

Since the reform and opening up,especially since the beginning of the new century,with the rapid development of China’s economy,people’s consumption has also undergone tremendous changes,and there have been conspicuous consumption,symbolic consumption,symbolic worship,and the pursuit of virtual goods.The economy,society and its development have had a wide-ranging impact.At the same time,with the translation and introduction of Western semiotic consumption theory and related works,domestic academic circles have paid more and more attention to and research on contemporary Chinese semiotic consumption.The thesis is closely related to the topic of Marxist philosophical analysis of contemporary Chinese symbolic consumption,and carries out an in-depth and systematic discussion along the logical thinking process from abstract to concrete.First,science defines the concept of symbolic consumption.The analysis shows that symbolic consumption is a rational generalization of the phenomenon of chasing consumption value under the conditions of real social and economic development,based on theories of consumption alienation,difference theory,cultural symbol theory,and symbolic political economy.Secondly,it expounds the phenomenon of symbolic consumption in contemporary China and its positive and negative effects on the economy and society from two levels of theory and reality.Thirdly,under the guidance of Marxist philosophy,from the ontology,epistemology and axiology,it clarifies the inner connection between the subject,object and environment in the process of symbolic consumption,as well as the consumption ability and consumption tendency of the consumer in the process of symbolic consumption.,the close relationship between consumption expectation and consumption space（path）choice.Finally,the deconstruction of contemporary symbolic consumption is closely combined with the reality of China’s economic and social development,with the goal of promoting the healthy development of China’s economy.Consumption development,profound criticism of the alienation phenomenon of symbolic consumption,scientific construction of symbolic consumption theory,etc.Symbolic consumption is an economic phenomenon that appears in a certain stage of social and economic development.It has an important and far-reaching impact on social and economic development and needs to be regulated and guided by Marxist economic values.There are reasons to believe that as long as we continue to pay attention to and conduct in-depth and systematic research on contemporary Chinese symbolic consumption,we can gradually put forward and improve the symbolic consumption theory and effective countermeasures that are in line with contemporary China’s economic and social development,and better understand and rationally treat symbolic consumption.In order to create a good economic and social environment and promote the healthy and orderly development of the economy and society.
