内容摘要：我国的《消费者权益保护法》对消费者的概念没有做出明确的界定，这导致了各种理解扭曲，并且致使了各种司法混乱的局面。为此，理论界和实务界掀起了关于“消费者”一词含义的激烈争论。争论的焦点集中在两个方面，一是消费者是否以自然人为必要条件，单位能否成为消费者，二是如何界定“为生活消费之需要”，知假买假者是否属于消费者的范畴。关于这两点争论，本文的作者认为，对消费者一词的定义应从两个方面把握：行为主体和行为目的。行为主体不应包括单位，必须以为生活之需要为其行为目的，坚持主客观统一的原则，考察消费主体的行为动机。知假买假者若被纳入消费者的范畴不符合主客观统一的原则，与《消费者权益保护法》的立法宗旨不相统一。通过这样的方式打假，不能从根源上解决问题，并且会导致市场秩序的混乱。
