At present, global ecological crisis is becoming increasingly serious, resources, environment and other ecological factors on conditionality influence of human’s survival and development becomes more obvious. From the point of combination of theory and reality to explore and research of Marx and Engels’ecology philosophy thought, it becomes the key to solve the practical problems. And we hope that what from this heuristic could provide the thinking, logic extensions for the subsequent development of ecological theory, at the same time, this theoy can provide theoretical guidance for our country’s socialist ecological civilization construction.Starting from the thinking principle of combinition of history and logic, this paper systematically analyze and grasp the Marx and Engels’ecology philosophy thought and its contemporary development. The article consists of three parts, the first part mainly discussed the Marx and Engels’ecology philosophy thought, and it summarized Marx and Engels’ecology philosophy thought systematically and abstractly from aspects like materialism, epistemology, dialectics and version of history. In the cognitive of materialism, Marx and Engels emphasized the preexistence of nature and the inherent regularity of nature for the conditionality of human activities. At the same time, human are the natural existence, the inevitable result of the development of nature. People largely depend on natural ecological environment; In the level of epistemology, Marx interpreted the objective relationship between man and nature scientifically and objectively, including the humanization of nature and the humanization theory. Looking from dimension of dialectics, Marx and Engels always treat with the complicated relationship between human and nature dialectically, what is more valuable is that Engels stated self organization of nature itself and organic relationship of internal elements on the basis of system theory; From the aspect of history, Marx criticized the production mode of capitalism, he thought the logic of capital was the root of ecological crisis. Under this kind of unreasonable social system, fracture of material change between human and nature appeared, only by thoroughly transforming the social system was a reasonable way to solve the ecological crisis.The second part discussed marxism ecology philosophy thought from aspects like view of nature, values and version of history. Mainly with O’Conner and Forster as the representatives, through a comparison of Marx and Engels’ecology philosophy with western ecological marxism theory, the connotation of Marx and Engels ecology philosophy is enriched and the modern value of marxist ecological philosophy is revealed by analysising ecological philosophy thought of marxist comprehensively using marxist basic principle and methodology. As a result of specific historical condition and practical reason, in the aspect of ecological philosophy, ecology marxism exists inevitably theoretical limitations and errors. This requires us to clarify and identify them by use of the marxist basic principle and method.The third part discussed the scientific outlook on development to the development of Marx and Engels ecology philosophy thought. From the theoretical level, with exploring the Marx and Engels ecology philosophy thought, this paper payed attention to the study of Marx and Engels ecology philosophy thought in the development of contemporary China and made every effort to display of marxist ecological philosophy more comprehensively. Especially in the perspectives of ontology, values and methodology, this section excavated systematically ecological philosophy thought included in the concept of scientific development theory which is guided by the marxist theory. From the practical level, it tried to discuss the value of Marx and Engels ecology philosophy thought on our ecological civilization construction from aspects like mode of thinking, sense of value political regime and the ways of production and life, etc.
