Research On Kate Soper’s Eco-Marxism

There is a detailed introduction and analysis of Kate Soper’s ideals on Eco-Marxism through text research in this article. Details are as follows:Soper thought about the concept of nature and the relationship between human and nature in the position of Marxism, she insisted that people’s recognition of the concept of nature is related to their political positions; based on the position of philosophy, she consider that Marx’s ideals is inherently contain the though of ecosystem; she conducted a critical analysis of human needs, and got a result that we should recognize our "real needs" and call for rational consumption policy, and put forward a viewpoint called "alternative hedonism" for the sake of saving the pleasure of humankind; she researched for the possibility of reconciliation of human and nature from a feminist perspective, but insisted that female is not equal to nature in a simple meaning.Soper’s ideal is a supplement for Eco-Marxism in England, and had greatly enriched the content of Eco-Marxism. But the rational consumption policy and "alternative hedonism"she proposed show us more or less utopia in the modern society that is guided by consumerism and hedonism. Although Soper’s ideal has its own limitations, it is still has certain reference significance in our process of constructing ecological civilization.
