The Triple Theoretical Origins of Marx's View on Nature and Its Contemporary Enlightenment
Marx's view of nature is a product of the comprehensive innovation of the utopian socialism,clas-sical political economy,and German classical philosophy.The concept of"nature"plays a foundational role in the early development of the three traditions.Utopian socialism regards the"state of nature"as the scale of social construction.Classical political economy regards the modern division of labor system as a necessary means to meet people's"natural needs".German classical philosophy understands"nature in itself"as the starting point of subject reflection.Marx reveals the non-naturalness of these categories and affirms their his-torical rationality,ultimately forming a dialectical view of nature based on the premise of humanized nature which is immediated by history.This process presents three interlocking critical clues.The first is to absorb the anatomy of social division of labor in classical political economy,and then break through the theoretical assumption of the eternal opposition between private interests and public interests in the"state of nature".The second is to implement the reflective principle of German classical philosophy and identify that"natural needs"are products of a certain historical stage.The third is to trace back to the humanistic materialist ori-gins of utopian socialist theory,and then transform the speculative criticism of"nature in itself"into a revolu-tion in the reality of"humanized nature".Marx's view of nature has established a scientific ontology,axiol-ogy,and practical orientation for the construction of contemporary ecological civilization.
