The ecological implication of Engels'theory of"nature's retaliation"and the construction of new civilization form
"The retaliation from nature"is an important issue mentioned by Engels in his manuscript of Dialectics of Nature.Engels strongly confirms that his dialectics of nature is a form of theoretical thinking about the unification of nature and human history,which owns the meaning of historical dialectics,and presents the consistency between Engels and Marx in understanding the laws of dialectics.Engels'theory of"nature's retaliation"is presented in the form of extremely violent form,such as COVID-19 pandemic,extreme climate and other major ecological crises,in the current capitalist society,which shows the limits and absurdities of the logical rule of capital.In this regard,he makes a profound criticism of the contradiction between capital and nature in capitalist civilization from the perspective of natural dialectics.He intends to construct a new ecological concept of communist civilization that can"realize the double reconciliation between man and nature,man and man"through the social revolution,and reshape the harmonious relationship between nature,man and society,so as to realize the rational placement of nature in the promotion of modern civilization.
