The Mutual Redemption of Man and Nature:The Logical Reconstruction of Marcuse's Ecological Criticism
Rooting in the developed capitalist society,under the relationship thinking and organic thinking,Marcuse deconstructed the absolute subject status of human beings based on dualistic entity thinking.He shaped the subject status of nature by returning its intrinsic value back to it.He transformed the conflict between humans and nature from once opposing sides to symbiotic allies,reshaping the relationship between them.He believed that eradica-ting the freedom of aggression and violence is the ultimate goal of liberation.Marcuse revealed to us the harm that human alienation brings to nature in capitalist society,and his liberation theory shows us that only by establishing an organic and unified community relationship between humans and nature can we achieve two-way redemption.Marcuse's ecological criticism aimed at human liberation is of great significance for comprehensively promoting the construction of the Beautiful China Initiative and accelerating the modernization of harmony between humanity and nature.
