The environmental thought of Marx is very rich.This thesis,in view of the global ecological crisis that have happened since 1950s,reviewing the elaborations of Marx environmental thought about the relationship between human and nature,tries to make a brief analysis from value perspective and find a theoretical and practical base on which human and nature can exist harmoniously.This thesis consists of three parts.The first part mainly analyzes the traditional human center principle is the main reason of ecological crisis and the difficult value position of non human center principle in solving ecological crisis,outlines different views of various Philosophy school about Marx's environmental thought,and proposes that Marx's environmental thought is more reasonable in understanding the relationship between human and nature thoroughly and is an effective way to eliminate the difference of human center principle and non human center principle.The second part analyzes the value meaning of Marx's environmental thought from three aspects. First from the human and the nature relations, the thesis starts from the view that the human take the value main body in nature existence,and obtains the conclusion that the society is the result of nature long-term development and the evolution and is a part of nature.Nature is the base on which society depends and is very important in solving the problem of the relationship between human and nature. Then the article starting from the activity, which relates the person with exterior nature,namely the human society work practice, elaborates the nature which worked as the foundation of humanity labor,and the human could not leave it and are bringing it into line with the nature as the work essential factor of labor process; The realistic nature similarly also cannot leave human as person's work creation, and this is the question of two aspects.The thesis has analyzed the work and natural relations in the agricultural society and in modern industry society ,and obtains the conclusion that the different ecology values can form under the different production method. This article criticizes disassimilation work in the capitalist society not only causes the disassimilation relationship between the human, but also creats the disassimilation which human and nature related, and proposes the communism society not only is the society in which the contradictory exploitation between human and nature is solved, and the contradictory relation between human and nature is also solved. Moreover, Marx also creatively touched the concept of JacobMoleschott "the material transformation" and took the social practice as the material transformation thing in the relationship between human and natural environment. Finally,the thesis embarks from the science and technology ,which is the value realization method in human and nature relations, analyzes the science and technology in the improvement production craft, enhancing the energy use efficiency, reducing the harmful waste discharging, reducing the waste which is discharged in the industry and the life process, and points out the science and technology is an effective way in raising the efficiency resources use and reducing pollution. Moreover Marx also proposed preliminary idea using science and technology to construct ecological agriculture. He also praised the science progress and the application of technology will certainly realize the harmony of human and natural in the end from the perspective of human's liberation and foresight the human have to his own behavior.The third part points out it is helpful to understand Marx's environmental thought thoroughly and promote the ecological practice scientificly from value perspective.
