A Study Of Marsx's View Of Nature From The Historical Perspective

The relationship between man and nature has always been the focus of academic discussion,both in Natural Science and Humanities and Social Sciences.It seems that we have never stopped researching on this relationship.Therefore,clarifying the relationship between man and nature is of great significance both in theory and in real life.Based on dialectical point of view,Marx criticized “objective or intuitive” nature of the old materialist and abstract human development of the idealist.He tried to understand nature from “human perceptual activity” and “history”.Therefore,Marx's view of nature has its historical dimension.Through specialized research on Marx's treatise on nature,the paper analyzed Marx's previous natural view systematically and roundly,especially the theory of subject absence in natural view of modern science.Then it was concluded that Marx's research on “nature” from the view of perceptual activity was of necessity.Finally,the paper discussed Marx's concept of nature concerning human beings,human society and human history and its important status and theoretical guidance in the study of Marxist philosophy.This paper made the investigation from the following three parts:The first part is entitled “the historical premise of natural view and the change of world view”.In this part,the author mainly summarizes the subject absence and historical concept of the natural view of traditional western philosophy.Besides,the author proposes the historical explaining principles of Marx's natural view and explicates the historical premise of it by combining the interpretation of Professor Sun Zhengyu on the understanding of world view(people's vision of life on earth and on the way).The second part is entitled “perceptual activity of people and natural history”.This part mainly focuses on the alienation theory in Marx's Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts in 1844.It inspects the development process of nature under the influence of human from the view of perceptual activity.Then it explicates that nature is the nature related to human with human's nature.The third part is entitled “historical nature and human society”.This part is mainly about the relationship among human beings,nature and history,which is the center and sublimation of the paper.The first subtitle is “nature and human society”,which is the extension of the second part.As the summary of the above two parts,the second subtitle is “natural history and historical nature”,which explicates the intrinsic unity of nature and history.The third subtitle is the summing point of the paper,which is entitled “the real world of the unity of nature and history”.According to the basic connotation of Marx's view of nature above,it shows Marx's view on merge of nature and human from his important thesis on view of nature.
