After World War Two, with the quick development of contemporary flourishing industry civilization ,the mankind reform and make use of the Nature without restraint and make the nature which mankind depend on becomes more and more personized . The ecological crisis, such as, Air Pollution ,Rapid population expansion, the increasing scarity of natural resources and so on , which lead to the nervous relationship between man and nature becoming increasingly prominent. So the contemporary thinkers have begun to reflect alienational relationship between man and nature as well as the positive and negative effects about the human society development which the science and technology brought to. Frankfurt School's personized nature is one of the representative theories which reflect the reality of such social problems and the plight of human existence.This theory discusses the view of nature in human history and human practical activity of production on a critical position. It also analysis and discuss how to grasp the significance of human existence and social development which nature give . their theories advance the exploration analysis and research between man and nature, people and society. Going deeply ,analyzing and sorting into Frankfurt School's personized nature theory can provide a reference for us to solve the ecosystem crisis problem of globalization or contemporary China.This thesis is divided into three parts in addition to preface and conclsion.The first part--- the formation of Frankfurt School's personized nature. It includes the social history and cultural background and thinking source of Frankfurt School's theory. In the social history background, this article demonstrates the alienation of human, the difficulties of materialized cultural history, the new change of contemporary capitalism and the main content of deep crisis. On the origin of thought and theory, it briefly reviews Max's practical personized nature-views, analyses and unearths the profound ecology significance which is in Max and Engels'nature-views. It also discusses the first generation of western Marxist view of nature, where Lukacs is the main representatives . Its main influence on the Frankfurk School's personized nature. The second part---- the main points of Frankfurt School's personized nature. This is the key point of this article. This part summarized personized nature as three parts through analyzing the major works of the main representatives of the Frankfurt School :"Critical Materialism""theory of Ecological Crisis""the Theory of Natural Liberation". This part gave a comprehensive explanation and analysis to its theories above through digging, processing and analyzing its personized nature. All of these make his theories become more and more systematic and theoretical .The third part ---- the evaluation of Frankfurt School's personized nature. This part deeply analyses the theoretical and practical significance of Frankfurt School's ecological view of nature on a dialectical way.This section first analyses the accuracy and rationality of Frankfurt School's personized nature. It also discusses the great practical significance which Frankfurt bring to our country's socialist modernization. Here, it mainly from first develop and utilize the nature with the"inner scale"of the creature. Second , establish the harmonious relationship between man and nature .Third, construct socialism into a moral and nice world. Then it elaborates the limitations of Frankfurt School's personized nature through four points of view. First , denies the distinction between nature and society. Second, denies that the economical crisis is a main crisis of contemporary capitalist society. Third , misunderstands the effect of science and technology. Fourth, do not point out the specific ways to achieve natural liberation.In short, the so-called Frankfurt School's personized nature formed in a background of new changes about capitalist and deep crisis , in the acceptance of Max's early writings and theoretical influence of Lukas and other thinkers . It is a kind of point of views close to nature-views of Marxism. Be sure , some theories in his view of nature are right or almost correct. The explanations to some views of Marx basically meet the original intention or a further expand. It has a reference significance for us to deal with the ecological problem, to take the sustainable development path, to exploit and make use of nature reasonably , to found a harmonious society whose aim is to build a harmonious relationship between man and nature. But , there are many obvious errors in his point of view, which run directly opposite way to the basic theory of Marxism. Therefore, we can not completely accept or deny Frankfurt School's nature view. We must take a scientific analysis and critical attitude.
