Ecological Reconstruction of Historical Materialism by Marxist Ecology

Abstract

Marxist ecology is a new thought about the relationship between human society and nature. Ecological socialism is the theoretical result of Western Marxist ecology. Its outstanding feature is that it establishes a theoretical system based on Marx's historical materialism. By analyzing the social roots of contemporary ecological crisis, we are committed to combining other theories of western green politics, combined with the objective conditions of today's social development, and put forward the idea of establishing environmental moral values and reforming social structure. Starting from the analysis of historical materialism as an ecological world view, this paper discusses the multiple dimensions of historical materialism reconstruction, and then proposes the enlightenment of Marxist ecology on the ecological reconstruction of historical materialism.
