The Etiology and Therapy of Ecological Crisis:Consideration from the Perspective of Marx's Theory of Stoffwechsel
Marx's theory of Stoffwechsel provides a perspective for the exploration of the etiology and therapy of the ecological crisis.The egoism of capitalism,the capitalist application of science and technol-ogy,the urban agglomeration of population,and market economy for the purpose of capital multiplication generate the ecological crisis.The control to the order of intercourse between human and nature with the prin-ciples of social justice,the control to the technological action with the following to the natural laws,the con-trol to the conflict between production of population and environmental resources with the method of the urban-rural integration,and the control to the social production process with base of property in common are the basic schemes that Marx's theory of Stoffwechsel provides to the therapy of ecological crisis.Fundamen-tally different from some mainstream ecological thoughts in the West that maintain capitalism,Marx's theory of Stoffwechsel takes changing the capitalist system as an inherent requirement to cure the ecological crisis.Therefore,it is the thought of ecological civilization that guides mankind to get rid of the quagmire of ecologi-cal crisis.
