Der Beitrag des Konsums zu einem gelingenden Leben: eine kritische Betrachtung zur Entwicklung der Konsumfreiheit

Consumption's contribution to a meaningful life: critical reflections on the development of the freedom of consumption

"Entwicklungen in der Konsumgesellschaft haben die Bedingungen der Konsumfreiheit verändert. Eine Folge dieser Entwicklungen ist die Entgrenzung der Wahlfreiheit ('Hyperchoice'). Weitere Veränderungen manifestieren sich in den Eigenarten der reifen, das heißt postmodernen Konsumgesellschaft. Der Artikel untersucht die Frage, wie diese Veränderungen im Hinblick auf die Bedingungen einer gelingenden Lebensführung zu beurteilen sind. Ausgangspunkt ist die These, dass die Willensfreiheit mit der Ausweitung der Handlungsfreiheit nicht Schritt halten konnte und dass die entgrenzte Handlungsfreiheit in Verdacht steht, die Willensfreiheit zu unterminieren."

"The maturing of consumer societies has changed the framework of consumption. These changes also have an impact on the freedom of consumption. Changes have let to a release ('Entgrenzung') of commodity options in terms of hyperchoice. Furthermore, maturing processes become manifest in characteristics that form in common the fabric of today's postmodern consumer society. The article examines the issue how these changes affect the preconditions of a meaningful life. It is argued that the freedom of the will could not keep pace with the release of consumer choice, and, furthermore, that consumer hyperchoice is in suspect of undermining the freedom of consumers' will. Chances of consumption to contribute to a meaningful life are sheltered in a progressive consumer ethics of responsibility." (author's abstract)... view less
