A Comprehensive Study of Marx's Ecological Criticism in Capital
There has always been a debate in the academic community about whether there is an ecological critical theory in Capital.In fact,Marx's ecological critical thinking is an important component of Capital and is integrated with Marx's criticism of the capitalist production process,circulation process,and specific forms of capital,presenting holistic characteristic.This holistic characteristic,which is rooted from the holistic nature of Capital,is manifested in three aspects:firstly,its generation process is manifested as a trend of deepening into real society with the transformation of Marxist theoretical research from philosophy to political economy;Secondly,its content system covers the entire process of capitalist creation,evolution,prolifera-tion,and even extinction;Thirdly,its logical structure is from abstract to reality,namely,abstract possibility of ecological crisis—the process of ecological crisis becoming a reality in capitalist production and circula-tion—the anti ecological behavior in specific economic forms of capitalism,thus forming a theoretical whole with complete structure.
