环境史观:奥康纳生产的自然条件的生态视界

Environmental History View:The Ecological Horizon of O’ Connor’s Natural Conditions of Production

环境史不仅包括环境本身的发展历史,而且包括政治、经济、社会和文化历史中的生态维度,环境史是整体性的历史。奥康纳重构生产的自然条件、个人条件和社会条件,特别是既关注"第二自然"意义上生产的自然条件,又强化生产力论意义上生产的自然条件,是颇具新意的。在深入理解"保护生态环境就是保护生产力,改善生态环境就是发展生产力"这一重要生态文明思想的关键节点,对其环境史观视野中的"生产的自然条件"进行与时俱进的深度挖掘仍然有重要学术价值与现实意义。因为至少奥康纳给出自觉考量唯物史观生产力论"生产的自然条件"的生态视界,对于丰富、深化和完善历史唯物主义生态维度的解读具有重要借鉴价值。

Environmental history includes not only the development history of the environment itself, but also the ecological dimension in the history of politics, economy, society and culture. Environmental history is an integral history. O’Connor reconstructed the natural, personal and social conditions of production, and especially paid attention to the natural conditions of production in the sense of "second nature" and strengthened the natural conditions of production in the sense of productivity theory, which is quite innovative. In a deep understanding of the key node of the important ecological civilization thought of "the protection of the ecological environment is to protect the productive forces while the improvement of it is to expand productivity", it is still of great academic value and practical significance to dig deeply into the "natural conditions of production" in his view of environmental history. Because at least O’Connor gives an ecological perspective of consciously considering the "natural conditions of production" of the productivity theory of historical materialism, which has important reference value for enriching, deepening and perfecting the interpretation of the ecological dimension of historical materialism.
