Abstract
The sociological analysis on “consumption-living” of individuals which keeps the inner relation to the ploblem about the suspension of modern capitalismus has not completely succeeded in its accumulation. That can be emphasized when compared with the accumulation on “production-labor-living” of individuals. This is due to the difficulty of logical analysis on the “consumption-living” of individuals, from the viewpoint of clarifing the suspension of capitalist mode of production. But now, we must approve that the individuals are in the present stage of social development in which that logical analysis is possible.
In this paper, the analysis on “consumption-living” of individuals will be attempted from the viewpoint of clarifing the suspension of capitalist mode of production. Based on this viewpoint, the analysis will be done on the “Social Collective Means of Consumption” in terms of the mutuality between the “universal development of individuals” (K. Marx) and the actualization of individuals as class subject. Through its analysis, the peculiar logic in “consumption-living” of individuals, which has buds toward the “future society” after the suspension of modern capitalist society, will be derived.
