This essay taking the issue of environmental crisis as the cut-in point, and the research of the root of ecological crisis and the way of its resolution as the main discuss field, it systematically summarizes and studies the contemporary theory of Marxist ecology.Because the ecological crisis is the result of the tension and deterioration between human and the nature, and the result of the serious damage, the environmental crisis is essentially equal to the crisis of human being. At the age of ecological crisis, ecology and ecological problems are closely related to every field of social life, and become the focus of the public. So, the burst of ecological crisis must bring a new revolution of the paradigm between human and the nature.The most important achievements of the Marxist ecological theory abroad are the ecological socialism and the ecological Marxism. The Marxist ecological theory begins with Marxist theory and manifests vivid characteristics of political institutional choice, namely to connect with socialism's replacing capitalism in analysis of the root of ecological crisis and how to deal with such crisis. That is quite different from Non-Marxism theory which advocates policy changing and technological updating.The Marxist ecological theory abroad occurred primarily in those developed countries whose economy and culture was in a high level. It observed ecological problems earlier and researched deeply and accurately on the root of modern ecological crisis from aspects of the nature of capital, alienated consumption, ecological imperialism, and so on. It also prospectively claims that only the ecological socialism which combines socialism and the principle of ecology can be the ideal social mode. However, because capitalism is still overwhelming in those countries, the above proposition can't be realized for lack in ways to practice. So it can merely be marginalised as voices from out of power and action from the people.In the 30 years after China's reform and opening up, not only the scale of Chinese economic development but also the extent of China's melting into globalization makes ecological problem attract attention from both theory and practice. The 16th and the 17th national congress of the communist party of China highlighted the great strategy of constructing ecological civilization in the overall arrangements for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which becomes an important part of modern Marxist ecological theory. The construction of Chinese socialist ecological civilization is an important part of Chinese modernization. It is practical at the very beginning and develops quickly under the scientific outlook on development and the goal of a harmonious society. Once a complete practice mode comes into being, it will help Marxism to modernize itself from aspect of human and nature relation as well as help Marxism ideological system to fulfill a great theoretical turn. |
