A Study Of Marx’s Natural Force Thought

In Marx’s entire theoretical system of political economy,the idea of natural forces has an important position,as a complete theoretical system,it is related to the internal logic of the development of productive forces and the ecological environment,and the essential relationship between natural forces and labor force and value multiplication.This paper first starts from the basic connotation of Marx’s thought of natural forces,and preliminarily clarifies the basic concepts of natural forces used by Marx based on the three aspects of realistic background,basic nature and division type,which constitutes the first step of Marx’s analysis of natural forces,and then deeply analyzes the essential relationship between natural forces,labor force and productivity,which not only clarifies its relationship at the logical level,but also deeply analyzes the connection between its specific content.In terms of the study of the specific content of Marx’s natural force thought,the author analyzes the natural force in the framework of labor value theory,thus revealing that the endless pursuit of capital proliferation under the leadership of capital logic is the infinite desire for value rather than use value.In the pre-capitalist society where material products are scarce,the principal contradiction of society is between man and nature.After entering the capitalist society,people’s need for use value is satisfied to a certain extent,but a simple desire for value is bred.The whole society pursues unlimited value proliferation.The capital logic of chasing surplus value dominates the use of natural forces by man,which leads to the alienation of natural forces.The most direct consequence of the alienation of natural forces is the increasing contradiction between man and nature.From the dimension of the relationship between man and nature,Marx’s thought of natural force is the key content of the article.Marx proposed that the way to realize the harmony between man and nature is to overcome the alienation of the relationship between man and nature,eliminate the alienation of labor,and construct the sustainable ecology between man and nature.In order to realize this fundamentally,we must criticize and transcend the logic of capital,that is,to fundamentally overthrow the capitalist relations of production.In addition,the alienation of the relationship between man and nature by capital logic objectively exposes and deepens the alienation of science and technology originally contained in western modern civilization.The alienation of science and technology is not only the result of the alienation caused by the logic of capital,but also a deeper root than the latter.Therefore,in order to finally realize the harmonious relationship between man and nature,we must return to Marx’s thoughts related to the philosophy of technology,that is,to clarify the path of constructing the harmonious relationship between man and nature at the level of overcoming the alienation of science and technology.With the deepening of our country’s modernization,the relationship between man and nature has become a prominent problem in social development.General Secretary Xi Jinping also attaches great importance to the construction of China’s ecological civilization,and his report to the 20th National Congress also emphasized the modernization of the Chinese style of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.Taking General Secretary Xi Jinping’s the theory of the relationship between man and nature as an example,the article not only shows how China achieves harmonious coexistence between man and nature,but also reveals the further enrichment and development of Marx’s theory of natural mechanics in contemporary society.
