试论劳动价值与效用价值的数量关系

劳动价值论和效用价值论是关于价值决定的两个最具代表性的理论,一般认为二者是互不相容的。文章从不易产生歧义的“使用价值”概念出发,把自然界和人类劳动对价值的贡献区别开来,进一步澄清了价值相关概念,并发现劳动价值与人工效用在数量上总是相等的。如果把劳动价值论和效用价值论融合起来,价值决定理论可能更为完整。

A research on the quantitative correlation between labor value and utility value

The major theories concerning value determination include the "labor value theory" and the "utility value theory" , which are generally considered contradictory. Starting with the concept of "value in use" ,of which people have a common understanding, the paper distinguishes the contribution of the nature from the contribution of human beings to value. In doing so the concepts concerning value are clarified, and it is found that the " value of labor"and the "artificial utility" are quantitatively equal. It is believed that the integration of the two theories can make the value-determination theory more complete.
