社会加速背景下当代青年人生活意义失落的成因分析

The Causes of the Loss of Life Meaning of Contemporary Young People under the Background of Social Acceleration

摘要: 生活意义失落作为当代青年人的一个整体心理状态。目前学界已经对这种心理状态的成因进行了一些有益的研究，但是这些研究普遍忽视了“社会加速”这个时代背景。本文基于哈特穆特·罗萨(Hartmut Rosa)的“社会加速”理论，从“事件意义”、“物件意义”、“工作意义”与“人际关系意义”四个方面分析了当代青年人生活意义失落的成因。结论是，“社会加速”通过消解或改变当代青年人生活意义建构过程中的“主客体”地位及其关系、压缩生活意义建构过程中“时间”、改变人际关系中的初级关系与次级关系权重等形式，直接导致了当代青年人生活意义的失落。本文希望可以为关注这个问题的学者提供一些角度与分析方法上的启发。

Abstract: Loss of meaning of life is a whole psychological state of contemporary young people. At present, the academic circles have carried out some beneficial studies on the causes of this psychological state, but these studies generally ignore the background of “social acceleration”. Based on Hartmut Rosa’s “social acceleration” theory, this paper analyzes the causes of the loss of contemporary young people’s life meaning from four aspects: “event meaning”, “object meaning”, “work meaning” and “interpersonal relationship meaning”. The conclusion is that “social acceleration” directly leads to the loss of contemporary youth’s life meaning by dispelling or changing the “subject and object” and their relationship in the construction of contemporary youth’s life meaning, compressing the “time” in the construction of life meaning and changing the weight of primary relationship and secondary relationship in interpersonal relationship. This paper hopes to provide some perspective and inspiration for the scholars concerned about this problem.
