With the unique theory point of view, Marx’s natural view has attracted more and more people’s attentions. This is an attempt to reread and study the Marx’s view of nature in current ecological environmental problems. The very reason for Marx philosophy to maintain exuberant and vitality is the philosophy base, standpoint and method provided by Marx philosophy. By making use of these tools Marx philosophy can be used to observe, analyze and solve practical problems.The traditional view of nature is of non-historical, non-practical view on relationship between human and nature. Marx analyzes the historical evolution of the Western view of nature. Marx’s natural view is established on the basis of Hegel’s and Feuerbach’s view of nature and is a big revolution in natural view. Marx’s view of nature is neither a simple mechanical patchwork of the previous view of nature, nor is a subjective conjecture. Marx understands the relationship between human, nature and history based on the practice, and gives it new connotations, which mainly involve the following areas: practical characteristic of view of nature, the historical dimension of view of nature and value appeal of view of nature. Marx tries to understand the relationship between human and nature not only in philosophy theory but also in the context of the critique of existing social systems and social change. Marx’s view of nature highlights its practical, dialectical and critical characteristic, which makes it beyond the traditional natural view and of theoretical and practical significance, In present days, with the thorough application of the Scientific Outlook on Development, Marx’s view of nature not only indicates direction for the solution of global ecological crisis, but also provides theoretical guidance for the socialist modernization construction.
