丹尼尔·贝尔从激进的“纽约知识分子”向自由知识分子转变,但始终保持着“中偏左”的思想状态,与“新保守主义”维系着有距离的亲近感。晚年的贝尔宗罗百家,思想臻于成熟,是公认的“无家无派”的大思想家。贝尔对资本主义的文化批判是深刻而富有创见的。他指出,资产主义的文化矛盾在于经济技术与文化的脱节。他对资本主义开出的疗救方案带有浓厚的乌托帮色彩。 Daniel Bell changed from a radical “New York intellectual” to a free intellectual, but always maintained a “middle leftist” mentality and maintained a close-knit sense of proximity with “neo-conservatism.” In his later years, Bell Zongluo became a mature thinker and was recognized as a “big thinker” with “homelessness”. Bell’s cultural critique of capitalism is profound and creative. He pointed out that the cultural contradictions of assetism lie in the disconnect between economic technology and culture. His treatment plan for capitalism has a strong Utopian color.
