“The Economy of Degrowth”: From Ecological Criticism to Political Criticism

摘要:

“去增长”理论是当代资本主义批判与生态批判的重要理论,以斋藤幸平为代表的当代学者们通过重解资本主义与自然的关系,力证资本主义经济增长与生产模式的不可持续性,并以“社会的新陈代谢”为核心主题试图勾勒后资本主义社会的图景。“去增长”理论正确地提出了资本主义危机的特征,但该理论以退缩的姿态简单地拒斥生产力的发展,未能辩证地处理人类的有限性与自我超越性之间的关系。当代资本主义批判从理论到现实的展开,依然需要借助生产力与生产关系的变革发展,由此持续创造非资本主义模式的社会再生产的条件。在这个意义上,21世纪的社会主义始终需要从理论与实践双重维度回应资本主义的总体性危机,为社会整体的公平正义提供世界性的方案。

Abstract:

“Degrowth” is an important topic in the critique of contemporary capitalism and ecological criticism. Contemporary scholars, represented by Kohei Saito, have clearly demonstrated the unsustainability of the capitalist model of economic growth and production. He reinterprets the relationship between capitalism and nature and outlines a picture of post-capitalist society with the central ideal of “the metabolism of society”. The paper argues that the theory of “degrowth” correctly characterizes the crisis of capitalism, but this theory simply rejects the development of productive forces and fails to dialectically address the relationship between human finite and self-transcendence. The contemporary critique of capitalism from theory to reality still needs to draw on the revolutionary development of the productive forces and relations of production, thereby continuing to create the conditions for a non-capitalist model of social reproduction. In this sense,socialism in the 21st century always needs to respond to the general crisis of capitalism from both theoretical and practical dimensions, providing a global solution for the overall fairness and justice of society.
