Marx And Engels’ Ecological Philosophy And Its Contemporary Value

Since people entered the industrial civilization,they have created great material wealth,at the same time,they are increasingly crazy about grabbing natural resources,and the deep-seated contradiction between man and nature is also more prominent.The emergence of a series of related ecological problems has gradually attracted people’s attention.The background of the formation of Marx and Engels’ ecological philosophy is that the industrial revolution caused more and more serious ecological problems,the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat is more and more serious,and the rapid development of modern natural science.A series of thoughts,such as Darwin’s theory of the origin and evolution of species,Liebig’s study of agricultural chemistry,Epicurus’ view of nature,Hegel’s dialectics and Feuerbach’s materialism,constitute the theoretical source of Marx and Engels’ ecological philosophy;The source of practice is Marx and Engels’ on-the-spot investigation on the living environment of workers in the main capitalist countries of Western Europe.From the beginning of germination to the final formation of thought,it has gone through four stages.There are five aspects in Marx and Engels’ ecological philosophy.The contents of these five parts are closely related and step by step.First,man and nature are unified as a whole.Not only man is a part of nature,but also nature is man’s inorganic body.Second,practice is the unity of purposiveness,compliance and frankness.Practice is a unique activity of human beings.Practice should respect the objective law.If nature is destroyed,man will suffer from it.Science and technology is the key factor to deal with the relationship between man and nature.The key factor to promote human development is science and technology,but it will also bring some negative effects.Fourth,the reason for the ecological problems is the capitalist system.The essence of capitalist mode of production is about alienation.It includes not only the alienation of nature,but also the alienation of man himself.Fifth,reconciliation between man and nature and reconciliation between man and man are the highest value goals.The relationship between the two reconciliation promotes and restricts each other.The characteristics of practice,people,development and criticism constitute the characteristics of Marx and Engels’ ecological philosophy.At the same time,his ecological philosophy can not only provide theoretical basis for Chinese socialist ecological philosophy,but also contribute theoretical wisdom to the construction of global ecological civilization.There are five aspects in the contemporary practical value,which are: to solve the outstanding environmental problems and strengthen the ecological protection;Accelerate the ecological process of economic development and vigorously promote green development;Strengthen the construction of ecological environment protection system and improve the ecological environment supervision system;Promote the common governance of the world ecology and promote the construction of human ecological community;To cultivate the awareness of ecological environment protection and form a green lifestyle.
