Study Of Contemporary Chinese Marxist Ecological Philosophy

Reinterpretation of the ecological theories of Marx and Engels is the need of the times for the liberation and development of human beings and nature in the21st century, and is also the realistic need to promote Chinese ecological civilization construction and to implement the great Chinese rejuvenation. The new interpretation of Ecological Philosophy of Marx and Engels, whose fundamental standpoint is to follow Marxism Scientific world outlook and methodology on the whole, and the philosophy of Marx and Engels, China Population, Resources, and the sustainable theory about the coordination between environment and social development are included in the theoretical framework of contemporary Chinese Marxist ecological philosophy topics, thereby we can build a new form of Marxism ecological philosophy with Chinese characteristics and Chinese style. Based on this, in addition to the introduction and conclusion, the main part of this article was in regard to the four aspects:retrospect and interpretation, inheritance and exploration,’ construction and development, practice and application.In the first chapter, we explored the theoretical sources of contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy. We studied and interpreted Marx and Engels ecological Philosophy from the nature of Marxist theory, and to find more philosophical meaning by deep deeply interpreting the original text of Marx and Engels, thus we could establish a theoretical foundation of contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy. The theoretical basis contains three topics:Firstly, there is a scientific logical starting point. Marx and Engels argued that, as a precondition and intermediaries human and nature, Labor is not only the process of the development of human beings and nature, but also the process of direct combination of human activities and natural law, thus labor became the foundation of the unification between human, society and nature; secondly, there is a distinct main line-the theory of dialectical relationship between human beings and nature. This theory determines that the view of nature of Marx and Engels, in essence, is ecological. This line undoubtedly became the lifeline of Marxist Ecological Philosophy; thirdly, there is a fundamental law-Marx and Engels revealed the irreconcilable conflict between economic performance rules of capitalist society and the natural ecosystems, thus it could establish a unification, in which socialist society could meet the purpose of economic development and could also meet the regularity of nature, so that the law of coordinated development of ecological became the fundamental law of Marxist ecological philosophy.In the second chapter, we discussed the theoretical development of contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy. From the perspective of ecologicalization we examined the historical process of the chinization of Marxism, and then we showed the new unique outcomes of the development of ecological Marxist philosophy with Chinese style. This development process consists of three phases:Firstly, the central collective leadership with Deng Xiaoping as the core showed initially the thought about the coordinated development of ecological economy; secondly, the central collective leadership with Jiang Zemin as the core established the sustainable development strategy based on the coordinated development of ecological economy; thirdly, the central collective leadership with Hu Jintao as the core gradually putted the scientific development on the agenda, really launched the New journey of the construction of the socialist ecological civilization, created a new situation of the chinization of Marxist ecological philosophy. It is needed to clarify that, not only the unification of world and national character, the unification of inheritance and innovation and the unification of theory and practice were showed in the process of chinization of Marxist ecological philosophy, but also the basic practice of green reform and international cooperation carried out in China provided a broader space for the continuous innovation of the Chinese Marxist ecological philosophy.In chapter three, we elucidated the core of contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy. Based on the global theme of the times and the objective reality of Chinese development we applied the science and value orientation of Marxist ecological philosophy and explored the points of integration and innovation of Marx and Engels’ ecological philosophy and the Chinese ecological theory, then to build the contemporary form of Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy. Its core content mainly includes following aspects:1, the ecological worldview-to explore the true face of the world with a holistic view of "people-society-nature", then to establish an eco-philosophical paradigm with the unification of the concept of whole ecosystem, the concept of eco-coordinated harmony and the concept of continuing development of ecology;2, Ecological methodology, which featured fundamentally comprehensive investigation, emphasized the integrality of objects and phenomenon, required a vision of development and dynamic perspective to study and deal with the relationship between human beings and nature;3, the ecological value theory, which based on the limitations and rationalities of abandoning and beyond anthropocentric values and the value of natural centrism, established a sustainable ecological holism values. They constituted the basic theory of contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy. They were enrichment and development of the Marxist ecological philosophy.In chapter four, we demonstrated the practice-orientation of contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy. We clarified the contemporary value of Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy from the perspective of combination of the theory and practice, got hold of the meaning, the nature and the characteristics of ecological civilization and the significance of the construction of ecological civilization, then provided the far-reaching practice-oriented for the steadily construction of socialist ecological civilization in China. This mainly includes:ecologicalization of economic construction-from the high consumption of resources, the production of low efficiency, high environmental pollution industrial economy change to high utilization of resources, the production of high efficiency, ecological economic with no environmental pollution; ecologicalization of political construction-to provide a strong ecological political strategic guarantee for effectively solving environmental problems in the aspects such as institution building, policy planning, law enforcement, etc.; ecologicalization of cultural construction-to form flourishing ecological cultural systems so that the people could widespread participate in the construction of ecological civilization; ecologicalization of social construction-to form the friendly attitude of caring for the environment in the whole of society, to help people to practice a green moral philosophy in their lifestyle, then to construct a eco-social model, which is resource-saving as harmonious coexistence between human beings and nature and also environment-friendly. These are the indispensable parts, which constituted the practical system of contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy theory.In summary, the thought of Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy we studied is showed on the theme of the innovation and development of Marxism ecological philosophy in China. The theory not only will reproduce that Marx and Engels explored sustainable development of human beings and nature, but also will show the development path of chinization of the Marxist ecological Philosophy. We can say that contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy is the fullest and most incisive expression for the combination of ecological attributes of Chinese socialist society and Marxist ecology philosophy. Therefore, the practical goal of contemporary Chinese Marxism ecological philosophy is to offer a new way of thinking for the transformation of Chinese socialist civilization from industrial civilization to ecological civilization, to promote the construction of the "five in one" system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, thereby we could create the "Beautiful China" in the era of ecological civilization. This is a new stage, a new leap forward and a new realm of the development of Marxist ecological philosophy in contemporary China.
