Comparative Study Of The Ecological Economy Thought Between Marx And Confucius

As a new concept of economic development,ecological economy has drawn much attention in recent years.People are plagued by the difficult problems of this century: the contradictions between economy and ecology,population and ecology are getting sharper and how to coordinate the relationship between the two.Scholars both at home and abroad have been looking for ways to solve the problem from the classic works of Marx.In addition,as the founder of our country's traditional Confucianism,Confucius has repeatedly expressed his thoughts on the relationship between man and nature and between people,which also contains the ecological and economic implications in Confucianism.To excavate and conscientiously dig out the ecological and economic ideas of Marx and Confucius is an inherent demand in the process of socialist modernization.In turn,the conversion of the ecological and economic thoughts into social practice can provide a good external environment for social development.These ideas have certain reference and reference value for us to properly handle the relationship between man and nature,man and nature,and to build a socialist ecological civilization and to implement the “Five-pronged overall plan”.The full thesis includes the following aspects:The first part is based on the research of domestic and foreign scholars such as Kenneth Boulding and Jiang Xuemin on the connotation of ecological economy,summarizes their opinions and expositions,and summarizes the concept and characteristics of ecological economy on this basis.The second part discusses the social roots and stages of formation of Marx's eco-economic thought.Based on the theoretical research of predecessors,this paper points out the main contents and basic characteristics of Marx's eco-economic thinking.The main contents include the dialectical relationship between man and nature,the theory of material transformation,the unification of natural productive forces and social productive forces,Under the system of criticism,the basic characteristics of performance for the practical,systematic,forward-looking.The third part first analyzes the characteristics of economy,politics and culture in the Spring and Autumn Period,and then digs out the theoretical origins of Confucius ecological economy thought from the Book of Changes and The Book of Songs.The main contents of Confucius' s eco-economic thinking are the ecological concept of "everything in the world of love," the concept of production that "the rulers should use their power in agriculture",the concept of consumption that "eradicates luxury and advocates frugality," "reducing corvee and reducing Tax " tax view and " not worry less points,but worried about unevenly distributed " concept of distribution,and then point out "life","self-cultivation" and people-oriented ideological characteristics.The fourth part mainly compares the two.On the issue of the relationship between man and nature,Marx acknowledged "the priority position of external nature".People should respect the laws of nature and have the initiative in front of nature.Confucius stressed "the fear of God's will(the law of nature)" and "knowing the will of God(the laws of nature)." "People can carry forward the Tao instead of using Taoism." At the root of ideological origins,Marx emphasized the critique of the capitalist political system and capitalist mode of production.Confucius,on the other hand,lays particular emphasis on the etiquette and moral integrity at that time.On the path of solving the ecological and economic crisis,Marx believes that to restore the ownership of the means of production,overthrow the capitalist society and establish a socialist society.Confucius,on the other hand,tends to think from an individual level,that is,"practicing virtue completely depends on himself" and "loving everything in the world." We should cultivate people's ecological consciousness through "adequate labor force,people's affluence and people's political and ethical education".In addition,on the way of thinking,both Marx and Confucius regard the relationship between man and nature as a whole way of thinking.The difference lies in that Marx is a dialectical thinking,and Confucius is an intuitive comprehension.The fifth part points out the contemporary value of the comparative study of the two.On the one hand,it provides the possibility of reference value for the Chinese Marxist ecological economic thought,enriches and develops Marxism theory,and makes it constantly enriched and expanded.On the other hand,carrying forward the rational content of Confucius' s eco-economic thinking is of great significance to nurturing people The ecological awareness has a certain reference value and reference value.
