Abstract:
The contemporary materialism,deeply rooted in our history,society,ideology and culture,shows multiple“ faces” and has caused many big social issues like contemporary crises in material and spiritualfields and in particular the so-called“ materialistic living” . Criticizing and trying to transcend the contemporarymaterialism is not only beneficial to the value guidance and the social integration for the mainstream ideologyof contemporary China but also helpful to promote the scientific development and social harmony,which canfurther help the great Chinese Dream come true. From the perspective of value philosophy,we can identifyfour types of disorientation in the values embedded in the contemporary materialism:hedonism in the outlookon life,money-worship in the outlook on money,consumerism in the outlook on consumption,and puttingmaterial gaining first in the outlook on development. In contemporary China,we have three ways to guardagainst and transcend materialism:it can be overcome through scientific development,institutional constraintsand the education of right values on the basis of pinning down the origin of materialism.
