Nature-An Original Relationship With Man

Because of the traditional mode of thinking, we always think there is a world which is independent to us and we are used to naming it "nature". And we always take the level of controlling "nature "and mastering "nature" as the proving of human's existence. This traditional mode of thinking, on the one hand considers human as subjective and rational being, and on the other hand considers "nature" as object which has been decided by rational human. But in Marx's opinion, this mode of thinking just forgets the original relationship of "man and nature". That is to say, the mode covers the original source which makes human and nature as beings. Marx regards the original relation as practice or perceptual activity. Practice is the existence of human who is grasping being, and "man and nature" is in the original relationship. Nature is the emerging of being. As far as nature becoming the object of human later and the irreconcilable contradiction between man and nature is concerned, it is the transformation and alienation from the original relationship. Only do we discard the alienation and regress being we can achieve the harmony of "man and nature".
