Study On Grundmann’s Thought Of "Dominating Nature"

In recent years,ecological crisis has been proved to be a global crisis affecting the survival of mankind.During the occurrence and development of ecological crisis,problems worth thinking about emerge again: does the excessive trespass of human behavior lead to the revenge of nature? How to realize the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature? Capitalism has been unable to solve the ecological crisis,how can socialism better set up the future hope of building ecological civilization home?It is important and urgent to rethink the capitalist ecological crisis theory and stick to Marxist historical materialism,and think deeply about the relationship between man and natural in the face of these contemporary problems concerning survival.Based on this,the British ecological Marxist theory has put forward many meaningful thoughts on the reflection of the relationship between man and nature,the exploration of the future form of eco-socialism,eco-communism or green communism,and the proper use of human rationality to deal with the relationship between man and nature.Grundmann’s theory of “dominating nature”occupies a special and important position in the theoretical pedigree of British ecology Marxism,so it is of great theoretical significance and practical value to study his thought.Grundmann’s thought of “dominating nature” has a specific theoretical,realistic and historical background,which is the reason why he established the core theory of“dominating nature”.With the concentrated outbreak of the global ecological crisis has brought the vigorous rise of the western social green ideological movement,the construction of ecological home has become the call of the whole planet.Under the background of this era,Grundmann thought about the problems related to the survival and development of all mankind.He drew theoretical resources from Marx’s theory of the relationship between man and nature and the ecocriticism of the Frankfurt School,took Elster’s analytical Marxist theory as a reference,and proposed that the relationship between man and nature should be “dominating nature” or “dominating nature” in the way of promoting anthropocentrism and rational application.The ecological crisis should not be caused by the lack of human’s attention and transformation to nature.Grundmann attaches great importance to the importance of defining concepts,emphasizing that the understanding of problems determines the solution of problems to a large extent.Such a concept runs through his ecological Marxist thought,from "dominating nature" to "ruling nature",from "ecocentrism" to "anthropocentrism",from Marx’s "anthropocentrism natural view" to Grundmann’s "anthropocentrism natural view",These concepts constitute the basic concepts of Grundmann’s ecological Marxist theory,as well as the core support of his idea of "dominating nature".At the same time,Grundmann’s thought of "dominating nature" has a clear theoretical framework,that is,fully respecting the objective laws of natural development is established as the logical premise,taking the starting point of human interests and needs as the value yardstick,exploring the realization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature as the theoretical goal,and making efforts to achieve "green communism" as the practical direction.Through the dialectical analysis of Marx’s view of technology and nature,Grundmann’s thought of “dominating nature” responds to the doubts from ecocentrism,puts forward the defense of Marx’s view of technology and nature,and further establishes the theoretical system of “dominating nature”.Grundmann insisted on Marx’s dialectical analysis and application of technology and advocated the active play of the economic role and ecological utility of technology from the effective promotion of economic development and environmental protection.Grundmann’s thought of “dominating nature” insists that labor practice,technology use and the relationship between man and nature are logically and intrinsically consistent.This understanding promoted the systematic construction of the theory of “dominating nature”,especially the conception of “green communism”.Grundmann clarified ecological centre doctrine of hostile questioning about Marx“technological determinism”,with the fundamental functions of productivity,thus establishing the key position in historical materialism,which analyzes the evolution of social form the thought of technology evolution of synchronous development,and then confirmed the productivity construction and application of technology in the social construction of green ecological importance.By adhering to Marx’s historical materialism and reshaping the ecology,Grundman initially Outlines the effective control of all productive forces under human control,and strives to build "green communism" in the process of actively dealing with the relationship with nature.Grunderman’s thought of “dominating nature” has distinct theoretical characteristics.It insists on anthropocentrism and opposes ecocentrism;it emphasize Marx’s “recognition of the limits of nature” and oppose those who “deny Marx’s recognition of the limits of nature”;It insists that,along with Pepper and Hughes,it is“red ecology” rather than “green historical materialism” of ecocentrism;it thinks that the construction direction of the future ecological society is “green communism”rather than “ecological autonomism”.Grundmann’s thought of “dominating nature” has both importanct theoretical significance and theoretical defects that cannot be ignored.Only by examining and dialectically analyzing it,can we extract beneficial enlightenment and reasonable reference from it.From the theoretical point of view,Grundmann’s thought of“dominating nature” is helpful to dispel the theoretical misinterpretation of“dominating nature”,to refute Marxism’s one-sided cognition of “ecological empty field”,and to effectively examine the theoretical characteristics of British ecological Marxism “anthropocentrism”.From the perspective of theoretical defects,Grundmann’s thought of “dominating nature” exaggerates the subjective initiative of human beings,blurs the theoretical connotation of “real needs of human beings”,and weakens the practical color of the criticism of capitalist system to a certain extent.So the dialectical analysis of it will make us realize that dealing with the relationship between human and nature should be rationally set up the “anthropocentrism” and“natural” govern rational scale,should stick to the historical materialism is the scientific theory weapon,analyze and deal with the ecological crisis should firmly believe that socialism and communism are the real hope of building an ecological society.
