Marx inherits the concepts of"man"and"nature"in a critical way and constructs the scientific framework on the relationship between"individual in reality"and"humanized nature". The relationship between man and nature is mainly based on practice, in which man must follow the principle of the unity of internal measures and external measures, and also control the substance exchanging between man and nature. Relation of production, in particular, that of capitalism not only makes nature become abnormal but also make the exchanging process of man and nature"cracked", thus causing a tense relation between man and nature as well as serious global ecological problems .It is a must to revolutionize the relation of production of capitalism, and cease the basic conflicting relationships between individuals. Besides, the substance exchanging between man and nature must be dominated by"socialized man"and"united laborers".Only by means of the above factors, will the harmonious pattern of the coexistence of man and nature come into being. Marx's theory on the relationship between man and nature has preceded both"man-centrism"and"nature-centrism", it is a theory that promotes the theoretical revolution on this subject.This thesis explores why there exists a tension between man and nature in China and holds the viewpoint that the main reasons that result in the tension are: 1 the misplacements of ends and means in the development of productivity and"man's faculty"which is viewed as"end itself"2 the expansion and invasion of"capital logic". The author thinks the reasonable relationship between man and nature can be formed by"complete and accurate"mastery of Marx's theory on this subject; purposeful control of the negative effects of"capital logic"and the construction of harmonious human relations, etc.
