Research On David Pepper's Ecological Socialism In The Perspective Of Marxism

David Pepper is the main representative of British ecological Marxism.Faced with the increasing global ecological crisis in the process of modernization,Pepper based on Marx 's view of nature and the Frankfurt School 's social critical theory,proposed to build a return to humanity centralist ecological socialist society.Of course,in the plan for the future society he designed,the combination of class struggle and non-violence,the mode of economic growth with moderate growth etc.,all have a utopian color that cannot be rid of.However,his ideas can provide some important theoretical and practical references for the construction of ecological civilization in China.This article will be divided into five chapters,and the overall structure is divided into introduction,social background and theoretical sources,theoretical content,evaluation and conclusion of his thoughts.The main contents of the specific chapters are as follows:Chapter One,Introduction.It elaborates the background and significance of Pepper's ecological socialism,analyzes the research status at home and abroad,elaborates the research ideas and methods,and finally the innovations and deficiencies.The second chapter is the social background and theoretical source of Pepper's thought.First,it briefly introduces the emergence of ecological socialism and Pepper's ideological transformation.Secondly,from the three aspects of the emergence of the ecological crisis of capitalism,the vigorous development of the ecological movement and the highlights of the disadvantages of traditional socialism,the social background of Pepper's ecological socialism is discussed.Finally,the paper introduces the theoretical sources of Pepper's ecological socialism from three aspects: Marx's view of man and nature,the Frankfurt School's social critical theory,and ecology,system theory,and futurology.The third chapter is the core content of Pepper's ecological socialism.First,Pepper is critical of the ecological crisis of capitalism.Pepper is different from the early ecological Marxist scholars.He pointed out that the root of the ecological crisis is the capitalist system.If the capitalist system is not changed,it is impossible to achieve sustainable development.Second,reshape the subject and implement new anthropocentrism.Pepper pointed out that the essence of technocentrism serving the bourgeoisie is technology.Ecocentrism is only a manifestation of the middle-class people 's sharing of political and power requirements in capitalist society.In the new era of anthropocentrism that cares about everything in the world,he does not give up the status of human subjectivity at any time.Finally,it discusses Pepper's construction of an ecological socialist society.It advocates moderate development economically,politically advocates the combination of non-violence and class struggle,and advocates the combination of education and social material reform.The fourth chapter is a systematic evaluation of Pepper's ecological socialism.On the one hand,Pepper 's thinking has limitations,which is manifested in the excessive emphasis on the decisive significance of ecological issues in social development,and the utopian color in the future social concept.Although he recognized the importance of the proletariat,treating them as a key force,not a leadership force,so Pepper's ecological socialism still failed to get out of reformism.On the other hand,it discusses the theoretical value of Pepper's ecological socialism.It inherits and develops Marxist thought,provides inspiration for solving the global ecological crisis,and provides references for countries to solve ecological problems.In addition,to elaborate on the inspiration of Pepper's thought to the construction of ecological civilization in our country,we must not only insist on people-oriented and promote the realization of social justice;we must also promote the construction of ecological civilization and strengthen ecological protection;and strengthen international cooperation and resist ecological imperialism.Chapter V,conclusion.Make a general summary and summary of the article.
