The Nature View Of O'Connor

Today's global ecological crisis has been caused by the widespread efforts of the people in rapidly developing science and technology in various fields and applications along with the overall goal of conquering nature.Mankind has created a rich material life of wealth in order to promote rapid economic gains.In speeding up the economic development process,mankind is still limited in meeting the conquest of nature and the ignore the fact that the abuse of science and technology has led to the ecological crisis,which has caused environmental pollution,energy shortages and many other ecological imbalances.These consequences pose a serious threat to human survival and development.We now recognize that the Western capitalist countries have undoubtedly created a highly developed material civilization,but we are also beginning to see increasingly serious environmental problems,as well as signs of an even more dangerous ecological crisis.To address these issues,the American scholar O'Connor carried out an in-depth study on Ecological Marxism,titled,"Nature's reason-Ecological Marxism".In doing so,O'Connor supported Marx's claim that his system demonstrated the concept of viewing nature as integral to production,a profound analysis of natural collaboration and the natural dimension of the relations of production and productivity.O'Connor furthered the original concept and made reference to nature and development in relation to production,labour and culture to solve the contemporary ecological crisis and to further explore how humans look at nature and how to effectively use natural resources without adding to environmental problems.Theoretically speaking,man could reshape man to promote natural harmonious development.In essence,man could then conquer nature without destroying it.
