一、 課程目的

消費,是現代社會的顯著現象,也是現代人的重要特徵。現代性的歷史源起,也就是十五、六世紀文藝復興時,由於航海的新發現,義大利和西北歐各地,開始從世界各地輸進各樣新奇物品,如香料、貴金屬、絲綢、瓷器、茶、咖啡等。這時,消費已經不只是吃飽穿暖等生活必需品的滿足,而慢慢轉化成對「奢侈品」的喜好與追求,一種具現代意義的「風格」與「品味」逐漸浮現,現代意義下的消費文化於焉誕生。我們甚至可以說,消費社會是現代社會的內涵現象。現代性的基本特徵就是「風格」與「品味」。

因此,現代消費社會的形成與現代物質文明息息相關。愈來愈多的新奇物品出現在我們生活的四週,構成了現代人「微物理」的存在狀態,也建構了現代人的「身態」(habitus)與「靈魂」。換句話說,現代文化就是物質文化。從「物體」的角度切入,讓我們對現代社會的特質有更深入而細緻的掌握。因此,本課程方法論的重點之一就是「考古學」。我們要以考古挖掘的技術,深入日常生活的脈絡與紋理之中,釐清「物」的秩序和方向,進而呈現「現代人」存在的「物質」基礎。

除了「量」的大不同之外,現代「物」和傳統「物」一個更重要的差別在,現代物是「私有」物,是屬於特定個人所擁有,而不像傳統社會一樣,「物」是一種「共有」的狀態。因此,就像Hegel 和 Durkheim 所指出的,在現代社會裡,人對「私有財物」(private property)擁有「權利」。在這個基礎上,物與人於是產生一種很親密的關係,進而構成個人的「風格」和「品味」,甚至構成一個人個性和人格的基本特質。A person is what he/she eats, or what she/he dresses.這是現代人之所以永不停止地購物和消費的基本動因。因此,本課程將從「私有財物」的角度切入,探討「物」與「人」相互構成的關係。

但是,從馬克斯的觀點來看,「私有財貨」正是現代社會的問題所在。在這裡,私有物是人類存在之所以會產生異化的主要因素所在。馬克斯認為,人因擁有私有物件,以致於對其他各種關係,包括人與人、人與自然、人與其它物體的關係都因此而終止斷裂。人性因此而扭曲、窄化或異化。而且,因為市場的運作,尤其是跨文化消費,交換價值逐漸取代使用價值,商品本身變成崇拜的對象,也就是所謂的「商品拜物教」。換句話說,商品宰制人性,疏離人性,而不是創造個性。這與 Hegel 和 Durkheim 是截然不同的。

因此, 除了前面兩週介紹消費社會的誕生及其特質之外,本課程主要的探討議題是:「為什麼現代人這麼喜歡消費?」為了回答這個問題,我們將分別從 Hegel-Durkheim 和. Marx 兩個軸線探討人與物的關係,分析人與物互相構成的過程,進而釐清現代消費的倫理意涵或道德困境。其中,最核心的概念框架和軸線是:「現代性」和「物」。最重要的概念組有二:1、Hegel – Durkheim的傳統:物質文明、私密領域、和消費社會;2、Marx 的傳統:商品化、交換價值、戀物癖。最主要的方法是:考古學。最主要的倫理立場:摸索中。最終極的生命關懷:人與物應該有怎樣的關係,才能讓人自在、自由、自主、自明。
