Since the day when the human became the master of the earth, we make environment practical transformation gradually. The environment has been playing a passive role to accept human's behavior. However, in the recent years, human discovered themselves tiny and helpless in front of the environment. The exploitation and utilization of the environment stop merely in the most superficial stage, and human could not really grasp the inherent laws of the environment. Moreover, along with human's evolution and science and technology's development, consumptive energy's large-scale mining, widely applied nuclear power in the military and the production and the unreasonable development of expense, destroy and waste the environment and waste recklessly. This turns the relationship between humanity and the environment more and more subtle. Earthquakes all over the world happen frequently; the North Pole glacier suddenly reduces; the climate turns abnormal day by day; these all sorts of environmental problems have already appeared on the tabletop as the global questions. Relation between human and environment is also getting more and more complex and is threatening humanity's survival and development. Some people even thought that it is humanity that destroys our livelihood environment, which at the same time destroys human.The most worth of reconsidering philosophy question is that all human can treat the environment rationally. That is the worldwide basis topic concerns the present human destiny. Nowadays, human hope to utilize their own thoughts to grasp and introspect the relation between person and environment, so environment philosophy came out at the historic moment. The issue that we want to change the ecology to construct the environment philosophy has become the philosophy universal mutual recognition domestically and abroad. How to achieve the harmonious development of the person and the environment, and turn it into one kind of new environment development concept, how to solve the environment philosophy problems the human face together in different cultural, the different production method, the different world outlook values domain, become the urgent problems for the environment philosophy to accomplish today. The huge revolution that the environment philosophy faces is inevitable.The primal problem that domestic and foreign environment philosophy faces is that"human centralism"and the"non-inhuman centralism"thoughts are obviously oppose to each other. Many researchers actually merely study the environment philosophy from unilateral thought. The former advocates the people-oriented machinery practice natural view. Although it acknowledges nature's objective preexistence, its understanding is considered that person's absolution dynamic assure objective environment; The latter take the natural environment as a carrier, and bases human-nature relationship understanding on the natural whole criterion. Although it is obviously retreats in the progress aspect, but actually proposed the feasibility of the theory for the human survival.Marxism environment philosophy is the starting point and the standpoint of the opposition we solves above. Although Marx has not written systematic environment philosophy, by Marxism's academic thought, we everywhere can see the essence of Marxism environment philosophy everywhere. This paper utilizes two diagnostic methods in the Marxism environment philosophy as the guideline, aims to solve the theoretical conflict in"human centralism"and the non-human"centralism", and trying to realize ultimate liberation of human and nature: the first one is conscious dialectics, but the conscious dialectics has to grasp the natural environment as far as possible and the human and the natural all relations in all aspects, and carries on the careful observation on natural environment's self-movement with the self-change, and choose the contacts of human and natural internally and externally. The most complete definition of the natural environment is made. The second one is the negative dialectics. the negative dialectics is to deny its own in order to affirm itself and develop itself. If human beings want to make themselves'understanding of the thing with the thing existence consistent, must while affirm this thing the acknowledgment and its relative negativity existence, The thing must be denied, at the same time, its relative negatory existence must be acknowledged; one thing's self negation is the important means to develop. If a thing cannot deny itself, and cannot look at its own opposite, then it has lost the advance power, and also has lost the basis which one exist. It becomes the deathly stiff existence, and becomes the non-existence existence. That is, if the"human centralism"wants to continue and develop in the environment philosophy, it not only needs carry on the development to itself, at the same time it also needs to make the objective appraisal and the cognition to its opposite"non-human centralism", vice versa. However, only the humanity face the human history while cognizing and respecting the natural environment history, can the human and the natural harmonious development be realized, can the human and the natural common liberation be realized. The human and the natural liberation is person's objectivity activities, is the interaction activity between the human and the nature. Therefore, the natural liberation and person's liberation supplements one another. That is, the subjects must have another kind of reality different from themselves, and so are the objects. The nature's liberation is consistent with people's liberation. Viewing from the macroscopic perspective, human's liberation itself is a part of nature's liberation.
