Marcuse’s developed industrial society is in the dilemma of overall alienation.In particular,industrial modernization has brought serious ecological crisis,intensified the contradiction between man and nature,and seriously restricted the economic development of capitalist society.In order to overcome the ecological crisis and resolve the plight of human survival,Marcuse creatively put forward the thought of "Natural Liberation".The theory of "Existentialism" has the profound origin of Heidegger’s theory of"Existentialism" and "Existentialism".Secondly,he fully analyzed the thought of "labor and sensibility" in Marx’s manuscript of "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844",rationally integrated Hegel’s ontollogy,and criticized the capitalist society as a "onedirmensional" society.Finally,he absorbed Freud’s psychoanalysis theory,put forward man’s"new sensibility" theory and established a non-repressed civilized society.Marcuse has been looking for the main force of revolution all his life.Finally,he put forward a non-violent"Overall Revolution" line led by "New Left" of young students and intellectuals.However,the failure of the student movement prompted him to focus the revolution on the field of nature in his later years and advocated the establishment of a new society to maintain the harmonious relationship between man and nature through natural liberation.Marcuse’s thought of "Natural Liberation" includes two parts:the liberation of "human nature" and the liberation of "external nature" To realize "Natural Liberation",we need to cultivate people’s "new sensibility" and build a "new type of people" as the main body of revolution.By guiding the new direction of scientific and technological development,carrying out consumption revolution and shaping nature according to the principle of beauty,we can completely overcome the ecological crisis of capitalist society and build a new relationship of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.Marcuse also proposed that people should return to aesthetic consciousness and establish a "non-repressive"civilized society by means of artistic liberation.His view is the inheritance and development of Marx’s humanistic viewpoint of nature,which lays the theoretical foundation of ecological Marxism.However,Marcuse’s transformation of Marx’s humanistic theory fell into idealism,and his artistic liberation means also had Utopian color.Marcuse’s thought of "Natural Liberation" has opened up a new vision for reconstructing the relationship between man and nature.For the construction of China’s Ecological Civilization:first,to promote the overall green transformation of China’s economic and social development;Second,focus on improving China’s ecological civilization system;Third,bring ecological culture education into the national education system;Fourth,people-centered construction of ecological communities and beautiful villages;Finally,we should follow the laws of nature and build a beautiful China.From the perspective of ecological environment governance in other countries around the world:first,uphold the concept of "harmonious coexistence between man and nature",and jointly build a "life community between man and nature";Second,adhere to multilateralism and strengthen cooperation in ecological governance;Third,formulate long-term ecological governance plan and establish crisis emergency response mechanism;Finally,we should improve the global ecological legal system and share the responsibility of global ecological governance.
