The life-styles of Europe now stand trial. There is a risk of advocating a rejection of technology on the basis of the drop in human life expectancy, alternations in biorhythms, and the phenomenon of alienation. While health organizations could serve as springboards for change in morbific social relations, their main contribution has been to the growth of health consumption. The experience of the working class in Italy in safeguarding health and changing environmental conditions is analyzed. In spite of its difficulties, this experience can provide insight on social systems and point the way toward future progress.
欧洲的生活方式正面临考验。存在一种风险，即基于人类预期寿命的下降、生物节律的改变以及异化现象而主张拒绝技术。虽然卫生组织可以成为病态社会关系变革的跳板，但其主要贡献却是促进了健康消费的增长。本文分析了意大利工人阶级在维护健康和改变环境条件方面的经验。尽管存在困难，但这一经验可以为社会制度提供见解，并为未来的进步指明方向。
