论传统地理环境理论局限及其主要根源

The Limitations and Root Causes of the Traditional Theory on Geographical Environment

传统地理环境理论有其合理因素和积极意义,但它并没有真正地反映马克思主义经典作家的地理环境社会作用思想,全盘否定了地理环境决定论,贬低了地理环境的社会作用。所以,在当代条件下,重新认识传统地理环境理论的局限和根源以及地理环境的社会作用,对于发展马克思主义的地理环境理论,坚持科学发展观,加强生态文明建设,促进人与自然的和谐发展具有重要的理论和现实意义。

The traditional theory on geographical environment is possessed of both rational factors and positive meanings, but it, rather than really reflecting the thought of the classic writers of Marxism on the social role of geographical environment, totally repudiates the geographical environmental determinism and belittles the social role of geographical environment. Therefore, contemporarily, re-recognizing the limitations and root causes of the traditional theory on geographical environment and the social role of geographical environment is of much significance, whether theoretically or immediately, for the purposes of developing the Marxist theory of geographical environment, holding up the concept of scientific development, strengthening the construction of ecological civilization and furthering the harmonious development of man and nature .
