Abstract

This paper responds to the ‘existence theory’ proposed by Baert, Morgan and Ushiyama. It considers their proposals in light of two main thematics: the general account of human existence, and the more empirical sociology of existential milestones. Both elements are appraised in light of existentialist philosophy and earlier attempts at ‘existentialist sociology’. It is suggested that the authors engage with generational theory, and also give an account of the commodification of significant life-stages by the milestones culture industry.

存在论的存在化与存在里程碑社会学的拓展

本文回应了Baert、Morgan和Ushiyama提出的“存在论”。它根据两个主要主题来考虑他们的建议:人类存在的一般描述，以及存在主义里程碑的更经验的社会学。这两个要素都是根据存在主义哲学和早期“存在主义社会学”的尝试来评价的。建议作者运用代际理论，并对里程碑式文化工业对重要生命阶段的商品化作出解释。
