作为一种生活方式的后现代主义

本文试图探讨作为一种生活方式的后现代主义。作者集中讨论了后现代生活方式的主要内涵，其中包括对虚无主义的挑战，对偏执的拒绝，对多元的尊重，对向他者开放的欣赏，对“踏实的存在”的追求，对创造性的推重，对丰赡人性的冀望，以及对勇敢地活出生命、活出风格、活出优雅、活出美的鼓励。作者认为作为一种积极健康的生活方式，后现代生活方式对于疗救包括消费主义和“划一思维”在内的各种现代病，是一剂不可多得的“药石”，是我们这个时代所需要的，在改革开放的中国它会有很大的发展空间。

Postmodernism as a Life-style

Postmodemism as a cultural movement has been interpreted in various ways in the West. While some view it as a way of thinking, others study it as a cultural logic, and still others a strategy. This article examines postmodemism as a life-style, with special attention to its rejection of nihilism and hegemony, its respect for plurality, inclusiveness, promotion of the uniqueness of individual- in- community, and aptness for creativity. It goes on to point out that the postmodem life style may act as an antidote to such modem illnesses as consumerism and mammonism, one that is badly needed in China today.
