Alienation and Resonance:On the Cultural Dimension of Rosa's Critique of Modern Society
From the dimension of social structure,"acceleration"is grasped as the cause of"new alienation",and the construction of"post-growth society"is regarded as the solution to overcome new alienation.This is the mainstream interpretation of Rosa's new alienation theory.Although this under-standing clearly clarifies Rosa's structural diagnosis of new alienation as a disease of modern society,it also obscures his cultural diagnosis of the disease of new alienation.Only by fully understanding the cul-tural dimension of Rosa's critique of modern society can we fully grasp the whole idea of his critical theory and fully understand his treatment of"new alienation".In fact,according to Rosa,new alien-ation is not only a"structural disease"caused by"acceleration",but also a"cultural disease"caused by modern society's one-sided conception of the"good life".In the cultural treatment of new alienation,Rosa draws on the theoretical resources of phenomenology to achieve a new understanding of the human being,advocating a new conception of the good life that focuses on the quality of relationships,with a view to transforming the relationship between the human being and the world so as to bring about a mu-tual resonance between the two.
