The Implication Of Marx’s Ecological View Of Good Life And Its Contemporary Value

The pursuit of a better life is an eternal theme for mankind and an inexhaustible driving force for social development.Since its inception,the Communist Party of China has made it its goal to realize the people’s aspiration for a better life.Since socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era,based on the transformation of the main social contradictions,the increase in the level of people’s living needs and the enrichment and development of the connotation of the Communist Party’s original mission,General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a series of statements on the good life,forming a concept of the good life with distinctive characteristics of the times.Marxism believes that a good ecology is the basis of a good life for human beings and is also a proper basis for the free and comprehensive development of human beings.However,the over-exploitation of nature in the process of social development has stalled mankind’s pursuit of a good life,and people have begun to reflect on their past behaviour and re-examine the relationship between man and nature.Under such circumstances,Marx’s ecological outlook has once again come into the public eye.Rereading the Marxist classics,exploring the value of the good life in Marx’s ecological outlook and seeking ways to realize the good life can help to provide scientific theoretical and practical guidance for solving ecological dilemmas and pursuing the good life.Take Marx’s ecological view as the research object,explore the good life thought contained in it.This thesis is mainly composed of five parts: the first part is the introduction,which introduces the background and significance of the topic selection of this thesis,combs the research status of domestic and foreign scholars on Marx’s ecological view and good life,so as to determine the research ideas,research methods and innovations of this thesis.The second part defines Marx’s ecological view and the concept of good life,which lays the theoretical foundation of the full text.Marx’s ecological view is based on human practice activities,criticism of capital logic as the main line,based on the relationship between man and nature and the understanding of the root causes of ecological problems,put forward the way to resolve the ecological crisis and achieve a better life.A good life is an ecological way of existence after returning to the essence of human being.The third part and the fourth part are the focus of this thesis.There is a value convergence point between Marx’s ecological view and the good life,and the good life itself contains the inherent requirements of good ecology.Marx’s ecological view clarifies the ecological logic of the good life through the elaboration of the relationship between man and nature,and provides a reliable theoretical basis for the good life by revealing the nature of man.By criticizing the logic of capital,this thesis discusses the realistic reasons that hinder the realization of a good life and points out the practical direction for the pursuit of a good life through the description of communist society.The fifth part discusses the value enlightenment of studying the connotation of good life in Marx’s ecological view,which is mainly divided into two dimensions: theoretical value and practical value.In terms of theoretical value,it provides scientific theoretical guidance for deepening people’s understanding of a better life,developing Marxist ecological civilization thought and expanding future life style research.In terms of practical value,it has important guiding significance for the people to correctly understand and pursue a better life,scientifically solve the major social contradictions and promote the construction of ecological civilization of socialism with Chinese characteristics.In addition,it effectively responds to all kinds of wrong theories and provides a practical guide for resolving the global ecological crisis.In short,good ecology is a key link to achieve a better life,and Marx’s ecological view is still shining with the light of truth in the 21 st century because of its incomparable advancement and science.Therefore,on the road of pursuing a better life,we need to dig deep into Marx’s ecological view and constantly explore the logic of a better life contained therein,so as to guide the people to build a beautiful China and realize a better life.
