The concept of nature is one of the basic viewpoints of Marxist philosophy and an important part of Marxist philosophy.In the process of the formation of Marxist philosophy,the concept of nature as a basic concept has a close connection with historical materialism and the theory of surplus value theory.It has always run through many of Marx's works.During the university period,Marx made a creative exploration of the concept of nature through the study of natural philosophy,reflecting the human initiative in front of nature.In the "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844"(here in after referred to as the "Manuscript"),the theory of nature as expounded by Marx has already possessed the prototype of dialectical view of nature.This is the prerequisite for the formation of Marx's new materialism.During this period,Marx saw the defects of the old materialist view of nature and affirmed the existence of "free nature".Through people's emotional activities,the sexual relationship between man and nature has been seen,thus the tremendous effect of practical activities on the transformation of nature was affirmed.The concept of "humanized nature" was proposed,revealing that human history and natural history coexist.These ideas are an important turning point in Marx's view of nature.It laid the foundation for Marx's natural outlook to mature.It Marked the great transformation of Marx's view of nature.With the continuous advancement of science and technology,the living environment of mankind has been greatly improved.But for this it also paid a huge price.With the deteriorating environment and the growing tension between people and nature and society,it has become the focus of attention.Therefore,Marx's view of nature has become a hot topic for scholars.Domestic and foreign scholars have made great achievements in the study of Marx's view of nature,reflecting their profound understanding and reflection on the concept of nature.However,there are differences understandings and opinions,and it can be said that they are knowledgeable."Manuscript" is an important work of Marx's turning point in natural outlook,emphasizing the existence and objective reality of nature,highlighting the transcendence of the subject' s practice activities,and advocating that mankind achieve the unity of man and nature through its own creative and practical activities.To solve the crisis of the ecological environment facing society today,it is ultimately necessary to realize what Marx calls "the revival of the natural world".On the one hand,the Manuscript is an important text that explores the most truthful and essential principles of Marx's view of nature;On the other hand,it also has important enlightening significance for re-understanding of nature,reexamining the relationship between man and nature,and solving the contradiction between man and nature.
