| Under the background of economic globalization,the economy of every country or region in the world has been developing continuously.However,under the influence of the early development concept of "development first,pollution later",the contradiction between human and nature has been highlighted gradually,and the ecological environment has been deteriorating gradually.In the face of increasingly severe ecological problems,people gradually realize that we must change the concept of development,implement sustainable development,and pay attention to the protection of ecological environment,which effectively curb the continued deterioration of ecological environment.However,at present,our country is still facing heavy ecological pressure,including serious urban environmental pollution,the trend of ecological destruction,and Marine pollution,greenhouse effect and acid rain pollution have also become global ecological problems.In order to solve the ecological problems fundamentally,we must go back to the theoretical system of Marxism and Marx and Engels’ ecological criticism of capitalism to explore the root of ecological crisis and how to solve the ecological problems.In order to explore the root cause and solution of ecological crisis,this paper,standing on the standpoint of Marxism and on the basis of Marx and Engels’ classic works,systematically studies Marx and Engels’ critical thought of capitalist ecology,which mainly includes the following four parts.The first part examines the formation conditions and historical context of Marx and Engels’ critical thought on capitalism ecology.Based on the social reality of capitalism at that time and the thinking and study of nature by philosophers and natural scientists in the past,Marx and Engels’ ecological criticism of capitalism went through three stages of development: germination,formation and deepening,and gradually developed into a systematic and complete theoretical system.The second part systematically studies the main content of Marx and Engels’ critical thought of capitalism ecology.On the basis of exposing the phenomena of environmental pollution and resource shortage existing in the production and consumption field of capitalist society in the 19 th century,Marx and Engels made an in-depth analysis of the causes of the outbreak of ecological crisis in capitalist society,including political,social,economic,cultural and other multiple factors.What plays a decisive role is the political and economic source.The capital logic contained in the capitalist system and the mode of production leads to increasingly serious ecological problems.The third part explores the design and conception of Marx and Engels on solving ecological crisis.In order to fundamentally solve the ecological crisis of capitalism,Marx and Engels actively explored the practical path to solve the ecological crisis from the aspects of establishing ecological politics,promoting ecological economy,constructing ecological society,cultivating ecological culture and so on.This series of designs and ideas also provided theoretical reference for solving today’s ecological problems.The fourth part explains the contemporary value of Marx and Engels’ ecological criticism of capitalism.Marx and Engels’ critical thought of capitalist ecology has been over a hundred years,but it still has vital theoretical and practical value in the face of the current severe and complex ecological governance situation.In terms of theoretical value,Marx and Engels’ critical thought of capitalist ecology provides theoretical support for the modern thought of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.To provide correct theoretical guidance for the correct view of socialist ecological problems;It provides an important theoretical basis for finding the root cause of ecological crisis.It provides the key theoretical basis for the correct understanding of ecological Marxism.In terms of practical value,Marx and Engels’ critical thought of capitalist ecology is beneficial to promote the improvement of ecological civilization consciousness of the whole society.It is beneficial for our country to stick to the road of ecological priority and green development;It is conducive to advancing mankind towards a new form of ecological civilization.It will help promote the joint building of a community of life on Earth. |
