"The Productive Natural Conditions" Ideaof Exploration Based On The Productivity Theory

Productive Forces Theory is an important part of the Historical Materialism. Today mankind is faced with contradictions between the rapid development of productive forces and the deterioration of ecological which had protruded contemporary meaning of productivity theories research. People have to reflect their production and think whether human production does continue development? Whether the development of productive forces is unrestricted? We must restore original features of Historical Materialism and add the third category the "productive nature conditions" to explain a series of questions of the production besides productivity and relations of production.In the paper, the author uses the research achievement of productive forces theory of scholars from home and abroad for reference. The paper combs the ideological evolution process and setbacks of "productive natural conditions" thoughts as the point of penetration systematically. Then it analyzes the relevant discussion of Marxist "productive natural conditions" in depth and give a clearly clue to the causes of tradition scholar ignores to the "natural conditions thought". Also introduces the exploration of "natural conditions thought" of James O'Connor who is the representative of Ecological Marxism. The author preliminary summarizes the connotation of the "productive natural conditions" through discrimination their similarities and differences among "nature conditions", "production conditions" and "geographical environment" that are three relevant concepts. The "productive natural conditions" have some characteristics which is the unity of subjective and objective, entirety and part, limited and infinite. In addition, the "productive natural conditions" not only has rich connotations, but also has vast extension. And it has different categories which are "reality and potential", "direct and indirect", "macroscopic and microcosmic".Thoroughly understood the "productive natural conditions" not only extend the threshold of the view of the Historical Materialism and deepened our understanding about productivity theory of the Historical Materialism, but also is a kind of trial which restore original features of Historical Materialism and finally enrich and improved tradition Historical Materialism. Study the "productive natural conditions" can enhance the awareness of nature when people in the production procedure, understand the value of the natural correctly and treat the relationship between human and nature correctly. At the same time it answers the query of western ecological scholars who considers that Historical Materialism doesn't include ecology dimension theoretically and testifies the historical materialism also has left sufficient space for the natural world in the relevant production theories. Meanwhile, the productive natural conditions have satisfied our appeal about country producing civilization in the natural fields, adjustment theory aspiration about transformation of economical development mode and clarify directions about practice of the philosophy of ecological civilization.
