Foster 's Discussion Of Ecological Marxism

John Bellamy Foster 's Ecological Marxism was the latest and highest level of Ecological Marxism in the 1960 s and 1970 s,and he was regarded as one of the important architects of Marxism's Ecological revival ? He graduated from York University in Toronto,Canada,where he holds a doctorate in political science and is the editor of the“Monthly Review”,a socialist magazine,and promotes it to leading British journals.Foster,under the background that many scholars regarded Marxism as anti-ecology,went into deep study on Ecology Marxism.His main thoughts were embodied in "Marxism's Ecology: materialism and nature" and "ecological crisis and capitalism".In his first book,he deeply dug into the facts of Marxism's theory to prove the ecological connotation of Marxism's theory system,rebuilt and developed Marxism's Ecological materialism,and through the material exchange crack theory of Marxism's re-elaboration and interpretation,exposed and analyzed the alienation of man and nature in the capitalist system,and suggested that to solve this situation,an ecological revolution was necessary.Take the road of communism."Ecological Crisis and Capitalism" mainly includes Foster's thesis on ecological crisis and capitalism system.Through the extensive discussion of global warming,ecological ethics and primitive forest protection,it also criticizes the strategies of capitalism in coping with ecological crisis,and finally concludes that capitalism is the main cause of ecological crisis.On the basis of these two books,Foster 's Ecological Marxism is fully interpreted.First of all,Foster makes an in-depth exploration of Marxism's materialism,finds the essence of Marxism's ecological materialism,develops and enriches its connotation,emphasizing that this is the theoretical basis of Marxism's Ecology.Later,on the basis of ecological materialism,the paper finds the core idea of substance exchange crack theory.Under the guidance of this theory,a great essence of capitalism anti-ecology and the main deep root of ecological crisis are discovered.Through Foster 's exploration of Marxism's Ecological thoughts,he has provided a theoretical basis for the increasingly serious ecological problems,made the ecological Marxism theoretical system more systematic and complete,and made a thorough analysis of the ecological crisis,found out the problems,and tried to take measures to solve theproblems,to help our modern ecological civilization to build a more harmonious and beautiful China.
