马克思恩格斯论人与自然的关系及其当代意蕴

On the Relationship Between Man and Nature by Marx and Engels and Its Implications to Contemporary Ecological Issues

人和自然之间的关系是人类实践活动的认识论维度,注重人类怎样认识自然规律进而改变自然界,它是人和人之间关系形成的基础,具有发生学的意义;而人和人之间的关系是人类实践活动的本体论维度,它决定了人与自然之间关系的开展形式、程度及未来的发展方向。人和自然之间的关系始终与人和人之间的关系彼此交织,这二者共同促进了人类文明史的不断进步。马克思恩格斯基于唯物史观的基本原则,透过辩证思维来把握人和自然之间的共生关系,为我们透察当代中国生态问题的特性寻觅了一条切实可行的道路。

The relationship between man and nature is the epistemological dimension of human practical activity, focusing on how people cognize the law of nature and change the nature. It is the basis of the relationship between man and man, with a significance of occurrence. The relationship between man and man is the ontological dimension of human practical activities, and it determines the relationship between man and nature in the form of development, the extent, and direction of development in the future. The relationship between man and nature has always been intertwining with the relationship between man and man, and the two together promote the continuous progress of human civilization. Based on the fundamental principle of historical materialism, Marx and Engels grasped the symbiotic relationship between man and nature through dialectical thinking, providing a feasible way for us to understand the characteristics of contemporary ecological issues in China.
